The UK failed to make any progress on the gender pay gap between 2022 and 2023 as the difference between men and women’s wages crept up for those in full-time work.
Men are now paid 7.7% more than women in full-time jobs, up from 7.6% a year earlier, the Office for National Statistics said Wednesday. The difference is much wider among higher earners and among people over the age of 40.
