Women & the SW Economy
The Gender Pay Gap and
Pay Audits
Jackie Longworth, Chair Fair Play SW
Fair Play SW
• Region’s Gender Equality Network
– Supported by Equality SW (on behalf of RDA & other funders)
– Largely women’s organisations and expert individuals (including men)
– Managed by an informal voluntary Board

• Aims:
– Gather intelligence on behalf of public authorities and raise awareness
of the impact of unequal opportunities for women and men
– Facilitate consultation with women’s organisations
– Reduce the gender pay gap in the SW
– Influence national, regional and local policy and practice to enhance the
economic and social position of women in the SW

• Methods
– Holding events mainly for women and women’s organisations
– Responding to national and regional consultations on gender equality
– Developing a wide ranging network of regional, sub-regional and local
women and organisations (men and women’s) interested in gender
equality
Gender Pay Gap
Definitions
• In the UK, women in paid employment earn less per hour
than men (on average)
– Women and Work Commission say costs UKplc £23bn
– Pay gap % =
100x (average men’s pay – average women’s pay) /average men’s pay
– Average can be mean or median; using mean it is 17%, using median it is 23%
(averaged over full and part time workers across UK)

• In the UK, part time workers earn less per hour than full
time workers
– Significant part of pay gap due to fact that more women work part time than men
– Available part time work is largely in low paid sectors or positions within sectors
– High proportion of low paid part time women are more qualified than needed for
the jobs they do.

• Pay gap causes found (by Equal Opportunities
Commission) to be:
– 1/3rd discrimination (unequal pay for same work or work of equal value)
– 1/3rd job segregation (women steered into low paid sectors)
– 1/3rd lack of flexibility in higher paid jobs/ lack of affordable childcare/women’s
cultural responsibility for caring roles as well as paid employment

Gender pay gap in the sw
Causes of the Gender Pay Gap in
the SW of England
• Discrimination in employer pay systems
• Preponderance of low paid sectors in some parts of the
region with gender segregation into these sectors
• Preponderance of sectors with high levels of part time
working at low pay
• Lack of opportunities for flexible working in higher paid
sectors
• Poor access to affordable childcare, particularly (not
exclusively) in rural areas
• Poor availability of higher paid jobs local to many
communities, affecting carers particularly
Possible Solutions – from FPSW Events
(and WWC Recommendations)
• Public services to provide for the differing needs of
women and men workers
– Transport, transport, transport!
– Co-location of housing, infrastructure and jobs – importance of single
Regional Strategy being gendered, also RFA
– Local jobs for local people
– Skills development for women in non-typical careers
– Information, advice and guidance to be gendered
– Schools extended hours (consultation)
– Affordable childcare

• VCS and individuals to make use of the Gender Equality
Duty to challenge how public authorities are promoting
reductions in the gender pay gap
• Employers to analyse their own internal impact on the
Pay Gap
– Eg RDA resolve issues – possibly small overall impact
– Act as role model for beneficiary employers – possibly huge impact
What does an internal pay gap analysis involve?
• Knowledge - step 1
– Identify average pay of men and women by:
• grade,
• whether part time,
• job sector (if relevant)

– Calculate overall pay gap (mean & median)

• Analysis – step 2
– Is any pay gap due to:
•
•
•
•

Discrimination within grade?
Discrimination between part time and full time working?
Differences in promotion / job grade for men and women?
Job segregation in sectors?

• Solutions – step 3
Essential Features of a successful pay audit
• Involvement of management, unions and
staff
• Commitment to the delivery of solutions
(to a realistic timetable)
• Transparency to staff and stakeholders
• FPSW / ESW willingness to help!
