Visualizing the Pay Gap Between Men and Women in the UK

Women Earn Less in the UK

The Financial Times has created a collection of data visualizations showing that 89 percent of women in the United Kingdom work at companies with a pay gap favoring men. The newspaper analyzed data from firms with more than 250 employees, which were required to submit data comparing men and women’s average pay in their organization to the government in accordance with the Equality Act 2010, to demonstrate that three out of four companies pay men more than women. Readers can search the pay gap for each firm through interactive charts, and line graphs show that the worst-performing sectors—construction, finance, insurance, and education—each have a pay gap of at least 20 percent in men’s favor. A major reason for the gap is a lack of women in senior positions, according to the Financial Times.
