This study reports novel facts about the UK gender pay gap. We use a representative, longitudinal and linked employer–employee dataset for 2002–2016. Men's average log hourly wage was 22 points higher than women's in this period. We find that 16 per cent of this raw pay gap is accounted for by estimated firm‐specific wage effects. This is almost three times the amount explained by gender occupation differences. When we decompose a pre‐adjusted measure of the pay gap, we find less than 1 percentage point or a 6 per cent share is accounted for by the gender allocation across high‐ and low‐wage firms. In other words, only a small share of what is traditionally referred to as the ‘unexplained’ part of the pay gap is explained by the differences between men and women in whom they work for.

谁为谁工作和英国性别薪酬差距

这项研究报告了有关英国性别薪酬差距的新事实。我们使用 2002-2016 年具有代表性、纵向和关联的雇主-雇员数据集。在此期间，男性的平均对数小时工资比女性高 22 个百分点。我们发现，这种原始工资差距的 16% 是由估计的公司特定工资效应造成的。这几乎是性别职业差异所解释的数量的三倍。当我们分解预先调整的薪酬差距衡量标准时，我们发现高工资和低工资公司的性别分配不到 1 个百分点或 6% 的份额。换句话说，只有一小部分传统上被称为“无法解释”的薪酬差距部分是由他们工作的男性和女性之间的差异来解释的。
