Women take home around £600 less per month than men as their salary, according to new research by The Fawcett Society on the UK’s gender pay gap.

Women take home £564 less per month than men, according to new research by The Fawcett Society. As such, campaigners are urging action to be taken on the gender pay gap in the UK.

The disparity has increased from 2021, where women reportedly earned £536 less pera month. The report also states 68% of women have struggled to pay their bills over the last six months. For women in minority groups, this number rises to 80%, according to the data.

The Fawcett Society says 35% of women who want to work cannot because of inflexible working options and limited childcare. A further 48% also say that should the gender pay gap in the UK be closed, the additional funds would improve their mental health.
