The gender pay gap is identified as the difference in pay between men and women. A new report from the Higher Education Policy Institute has revealed that women are paid on average 11.9% less than men in higher education institutions – that’s colleges and universities across the UK where students undertake undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. This week we interviewed a panel of scientists and policymakers, including the author of the report to find out why the gender pay gap persists and how we can eliminate it.
