PAY inequality in Britain remains high, with “significant differences” between men and women and among ethnic minority groups, a Government-commissioned report said today.
A National Equality Panel found that “deep- seated” differences remained between social groups, even though some of the widest gaps had narrowed in the last decade, such as the difference between men’s and women’s wages.
Huge differences were also identified in the wealth of older people, with one in 10 households aged 55 to 64 having houses, pension rights and other money worth less than £28,000, while a 10th had more than £1.3m.
