What is gender pay gap?
The gender pay gap is the difference in earnings between men and women in the workplace, expressed as a percentage over men’s earnings. It can be measured based on men and women’s average or median earnings. The gender pay gap is different from equal pay, whereby men and women are paid the same amount for the same, or comparable roles.
