The Equal Pay Act 1970 stipulates that people should be paid the
same regardless of their gender.
In practice that might not always be the case.
There remains a large pay gap in the UK between men and
women’s wages.
It is often cited that there is an 18% pay gap in the UK with
a women earning on average 82p for every £1 earned by a man.

lower salaries for doing exactly the same job as a male
co-worker.
