Quarter of large firms now calculating ethnicity pay gap, research suggests

10 Sep 2020

Almost a quarter (23 per cent) of large companies are now calculating their ethnicity pay gap, research released today reveals – a jump from just one in 20 (5 per cent) in 2018 – despite the government so far failing to act on plans to make ethnicity pay gap reporting mandatory.

Two in five (40 per cent) respondents also said they planned to start doing so within the next three years.

The survey, conducted by PwC, polled 100 companies that collectively employ more than one million people, and found that one in 10 (10 per cent) firms were now voluntarily publishing their ethnicity pay gap figures, up from just 3 per cent two years ago, even though they are not legally required to do so.
