Is there always a pay penalty for working part-time?

The Equality and Human Rights Commission's research team recently published a briefing paper on the latest available statistics on the gender pay gap (PDF format, 1.4Mb).

It contains some interesting findings, because, unlike the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the EHRC puts a lot of weight on comparisons between the pay of part-time women and full-time men (see this 2009 paper on why the ONS prefers not to directly publish pay gap statistics in this way).

The most striking headline finding is that the full-time gender pay gap (measured using median hourly pay rates excluding overtime) has fallen from 12.2% in April 2009 to 10.2% a year later (PDF format, 42.5Kb on the ONS website).

Equal pay reporting and the Equality Act 2010
