Closing the Gender Pay Gap

This consultation seeks views on the Government’s manifesto commitment to require larger employers to publish gender pay information. These regulations will cover private and voluntary sector employers in England, Scotland and Wales with at least 250 employees.

The consultation also seeks views on wider action that can be taken to inspire girls and young women, modernise workplaces and support older working women.

The Government Equalities Office commissioned research into the extent to which employers across Great Britain with 150 or more staff collect, report and publish data on pay by gender, and into the awareness and impact of the Think, Act, Report scheme.
