| Abstract: | This exploratory study investigates the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the gender pay gap within the United Kingdom, specifically focusing on variations across industries predominantly occupied by men or women. Utilizing self-reported data on the gender pay gap from employers with over 250 employees, the study aims to analyze the extent and nature of the gender pay gap during the pandemic. Employing exploratory data analysis techniques, the research examines trends and patterns within the gender pay gap, providing insights into its variations across different industries. By narrowing the scope to the gender pay gap analysis, this study contributes to the existing literature and enhances our understanding of the effects of the pandemic on gender wage disparities within the UK workforce. These findings can serve as a valuable reference for further research and discussions surrounding gender pay gaps, potentially informing future policy discussions and initiatives aimed at reducing gender wage disparities. |
