Gender pay gap at Friends of the Earth

The gender pay gap is the "percentage difference between average hourly earnings for men and women." It's not the same as equal pay, which is a legal requirement that men and women are paid the same for doing the same or similar work.

There are two calculations of the gender pay gap based on two different ways of calculating averages: median and mean.
