What is the Gender Pay Gap?

Mean Pay Gap – The mean gender pay gap refers to the difference between the average hourly rate for a man and the average hourly rate for a woman. This difference is then expressed as a percentage.

Median Pay Gap – The median pay gap is the difference between the middle point of men’s earnings and the middle point of women’s earnings. This is calculated by listing all male and female hourly rates from smallest to largest. The value in the middle is the median. The median gap is the percentage difference between the male median and the female median.
