The UK’s leading housebuilders and housing associations reported mixed progress towards narrowing the pay gap between male and female employees in 2018.

Of the leading listed housebuilders only Taylor Wimpey reported a zero media pay gap, while at the other end of the scale some firms paid men significantly more than women.

While the UK average gender pay gap sits at 10%, meaning women earn on average 90p for every £1 that men earn, leading UK housebuilders recorded an average pay gap of 14.4%.
