Gap analysis

From the Department for Digital, Culture Media and Sport [their punctuation] annual report.

"The overall gender pay gap for DCMS has increased between 2016 and 2017. The measures for the gender pay gap changed between 2016 and 2017, which explains some of the differences in figures. For example, from 2017 we have been required to exclude the value of salary sacrifice deductions from gross pay (this can be for child care vouchers and other such schemes such as cycle to work). As typically more women will use salary sacrifice schemes this impacts on the gender pay gap calculations. At DCMS 68 people use the childcare voucher scheme, 56% of whom are women."

2017 figures: Gender pay gap (mean) 8% Gender pay gap (median) 10%
