Median Hourly Pay Difference by Year

Data provided by the UK Government and the Office for National Statistics

A line plot showing hourly gender pay inequality data from 2017 to today. Hourly pay for women is 12-15% lower for all time periods and hasn't changed much. The user can filter down the data into SIC Categories (SIC is a system of codes to describe what an employer does), employer types (for example a private corporation or overseas entity) and the employer size. The overral trend doesn't change much with these filters, but some fields have more or less gender inequality in hourly pay. For example social work activities, and the accomodation and food industry typically have less inequality, i.e. 6-10% less. The areas with the greatest inequality are in the construction, financial services and education industries, where it can be 20-25% less per hour. Public sector employers typically have more pay inequality, from around 13% to 17%. In terms of number of employees, the general trend is that the more employees an employer has, the less pay inequality there is: From 13% to 9%.
