LONDON: Britain’s gender pay gap remains wide and has barely narrowed over the last 25 years, according to a study published on Monday that blamed "deep-seated social norms".
The report by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) found the average working-age woman in the UK earned 40 percent less than her male counterpart in 2019. This broad gap in average pay is due to fewer women being in paid work at all compared to male counterparts, while some of those that are employed do fewer hours per week than men.
