Women
Key points
- Women are particularly vulnerable to poverty, partly as a result of the gender pay gap and caring responsibilities.
- Women working full-time are paid on average 17.1% less an hour than men for doing work of equivalent value. This figure rises to 20% for ethnic minority women, and to 36% for women working part-time.
- Because of the small size of samples in surveys, there is a lack of reliable data to compare men and women in London, particularly at sub-regional and borough level.
