UK gender pay gap may close by 2056; women earn 12.8% less, working 47 days unpaid annually.
The gender pay gap in the UK is projected to close by 2056 if current trends continue, with women earning 12.8% less than men on average, equivalent to £2,548 annually and effectively working for free for 47 days each year.
Disparities are widest in finance and insurance (27.2%) and education (17%), persisting even in female-dominated sectors.
The TUC attributes the gap to caregiving responsibilities, insufficient childcare, and limited access to flexible work, urging stronger action including mandatory employer plans and bans on exploitative contracts.
Previous data may have underestimated the gap due to flawed collection methods.
