Gender pay gap: what is it and how is it different from equal pay?

Description

The data reveals that men are typically paid significantly more than women in most UK businesses.

Julie Davies tells the Independent: “This happens when women don’t negotiate their salary in their first role due to societal pressures, and so there is a cumulative effect as they move from one job to another. Often women don’t ask for more money and are just grateful to be offered a job.”
