Gender pay: 52% of UK firms fail to narrow gap, figures show

A spokesman for Interserve Group said:"We are committed to addressing the issues on gender pay and through the leadership of our chief executive, Debbie White, we are making good progress."

Ahead of the deadline, Peter Cheese, chief executive of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, said it appeared that many companies still did not have an"action plan" of how they will narrow their pay gaps. He acknowledged, though, that a reason for the gap widening at some firms could be that they have initially focused on bringing more women into entry-levels roles in order to build a pipeline of female talent".

If you place all the men and women working at a company into two lines in order of salary, the median pay gap will be the difference in salary between the woman in the middle of her line and the man in the middle of his.The mean pay gap is the difference between a company's total wage spend-per-woman and its total spend-per-man.

I know!! Let’s all peddle myths about women being oppressed so we can ignore real problems in culture like male suicide and how the education system is failing boys. Well done

Because the gap that you describe doesn’t exist!

Statistics eh? Fact: 30% of fatal road accidents involve someone over the drink-drive limit. Therefore, logically, 70% involve sober drivers. Conclusion: Get those sober idiots off the road and let the drunks be safe? Lesson: Take care when analysing statistics.

I remember seeing an article saying the premier league had a huge gender pay gap that's how silly this argument has got! Let's put the tea lady on 50k a week

There is no gap. Everytime I see figures for this it's based on people doing completely different jobs

Every women who works in my company earns more than me! Yet our pay gap is in favour of men according to this! Do I have a right to complain 😂

PAY Gap = Lie EARNINGS Gap = True Solutions (for women to earn more): - Work full time only - Work Overtime - Stop having babies Solutions (for companies to avoid silly stats): - Bar women from low-paid jobs - Ban part-time women - REFUSE IN UNION to submit data nor to pay fine

Yet another a way for government to pretend they care without having to annoy men. All firms just use the get out clause: 'This does not show gaps between like for like roles'. Well why don't we make them report pay gap by roles! Let's see what excuses they come out with then?

The real headline should be 'Women are under-represented in senior positions' Stop calling a pay gap and call it what it is A skills and representation gap, which definitely needs to be addressed

What gap?

Still pushing this fake news?

half of companies are sexist because there run by evil men who hate women....or there are other social reasons and choices women make that 'unbalance' things? Broaden the debate bbc.

There is no gender pay gap. Its been illigal to pay different wages for the same work for decades. Talk about the gender hours gap as well. Do some research and journalism before you parrot stupidity

Let's just look at those working full time hours and see the gender work gap as well. Pointless having only a half a story.

A rubbish issue

Gender pay gap is an deliberate misnomer. It’s not a ‘pay gap’ it’s a candidate gap. Also the tokenistic approach that organisations are taking to resolve the issue is leading to some truly dreadful hires.

52% of UK firms fail to narrow something that doesn't exist and is a convenient, disingenuous rhetoric for self-promotion? Surely not. When will you stop pushing this statistical nonsense?

Rejecting a man that is perfect for the job over an under qualified woman so as to fill a quota, makes perfect sense.

When are the BBC gonna stop flogging this dead horse!! This is the biggest non-news stories of all non-news stories!! The actual question should be why aren't there as many women in the higher paid jobs!!

Shit study done by lesbians . Let’s save some money & stop crap study’s like this !

EARNINGS GAP YOU FUCKING FAILURES. If it was a pay gap these companies could be sued for discrimination.

Gender pay gap is a media hyped 'false' stat. Many think its about equal pay. It is not, as it is illegal to pay men and women different rates for the same job !

Does this take into account overtime, actual hours worked, seniority, pay negotiations etc... or just gender?

Women choose to earn less. That’s how most families work.

3rd day in a row BBC pimps gender pay gap myth. Hiring of female staff has increased.....now you may not like this BBC but equality means the women have to start at the bottom, just like the men.. Why is this rather obvious observation not in your article? Your agenda.

If in fact woman did the same job for significantly less pay, in capitalism no company would employ men any longer....

As we all have learned in the last couple of years - 52% doesn‘t matter

52% is a terrible percentage; perhaps the worst of all the percentages. BAD! On the other hand, a brave, valiant and sensible 48% are doing the right thing.

90% of women worldwide, can't perform at work as well as men.

In this day and age this is disgusting, all the alleged companies should get this sorted out and put such idiocy in the past as soon as possible, it is unacceptable.

Because there isn’t one

If this is another study that doesn't take into account hours worked, overtime, responsibility and seniority plus performance incentives, they should fire the people making the study.

How can you narrow something that does not exist?

So tell women to do more work. Why are women letting us down?

There is no pay gap. There is a gender in senior roles gap. Stop spreading the false rhetoric that men are paid more than women for doing the same job. They aren't.

Women need to raise their game, obviously.

52%? Obviously they didn't know what gap they were narrowing...
