A new Equality Bill being presented to the UK parliament could force companies to publish their gender pay gaps by 2013.

 

According to the BBC:

 

"Ministers ...want to tackle the fact that - 40 years after the introduction of the Equal Pay Act - women in the UK still earn on average 23% less per hour than men."

While the UK government is launching a review of bank bonuses and governance, the leader of the House of Commons Harriet Harman has asked the Equality Commission to investigate why men in the financial sector appear to be being paid 40% more than their female counterparts.
