Gender Pay Gaps in the UK and US

In the UK, gender pay gaps are measured by the day on which women stop being paid compared to men, while in the US, it is the day women catch up to men's earnings from the previous year. The gender pay gap in the UK is currently at 10.7% for full-time workers, with slow but steady progress being made over the past 20 years. In the US, the controlled pay gap shows that women earn 99 cents for every dollar earned by men, while the uncontrolled pay gap reveals that women earn 83 cents for every dollar earned by men.
