Despite the Equal Pay Act’s enactment five decades ago, the gender pay gap persists in Britain. Women still earn 15% less than men, highlighting enduring challenges. Our coverage explores systemic issues, societal factors, and ongoing efforts to bridge the divide.
At FE News, we offer analyses, firsthand accounts, and expert opinions on gender-based wage disparities. Uncover historical context, milestones, and persistent barriers while staying informed about initiatives driving change.
Reflecting on the journey since the Equal Pay Act, our coverage aims to spark conversations, inspire advocacy, and propel actions for a more equitable future. Join us in championing equal pay, striving for a society where everyone receives fair compensation, regardless of gender.
