Gender Pay Gap In UK Still 'Stubborn'

The UK's gender pay gap remains "stubborn," with female graduates often earning as much as £8,000 less than their male counterparts, an equality group has warned. Women's educational success is not being carried through to the workplace, with many earning less than men even if they have studied the same subject, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) said. Laura Carstensen, an EHRC commissioner, said: "In today's world women should not face these kinds of injustices, especially when data shows time after time girls and women are outperforming males at every stage in education.
