In this FE News article produced by the Institute for Fiscal Studies the authors inform us :
“The average working-age woman in the UK earned 40% less than her male counterpart in 2019 @TheIFS. This is because, among 20- to 55-year-olds not in education, long-term sick or retired:
-Women are 9.5 percentage points less likely to be in paid work at all (83.5% of women and 93% of men).
-Women do 8 fewer hours of paid work per week than men if they are employed (34 per week on average rather than 42).
-Women in paid work earn 19% less per hour on average (£13.20 rather than £16.30).”
These are among the key findings of new research on gender inequalities undertaken for the IFS Deaton Review of Inequalities, funded by the Nuffield Foundation.
