answer text <p>The UK is committed to its role as a global champion of open and fair trade and the benefits that brings to all genders. As demonstrated by our support for the women’s economic empowerment declaration at the Eleventh Ministerial Conference (MC11) in December 2017, we recognise the importance of gender equality and the need to ensure women and girls are empowered economically, especially through involvement in trade, both in the UK and internationally.</p> more like this

answer text <p>UK Export Finance (UKEF) published its first Gender Pay Gap report on Monday 18 December, 2017. The full report can be found here:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-export-finance-ukef-gender-pay-gap-report-2016-to-2017/ukef-gender-pay-gap-report-2016-to-2017" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-export-finance-ukef-gender-pay-gap-report-2016-to-2017/ukef-gender-pay-gap-report-2016-to-2017</a></p><p> </p><p>UKEF’s pay gap for 2016/17 was (a) median: 16.26%, (b) mean: 15.97% and (c) bonus pay: 22.36%. The breakdown of the UKEF pay gap data is below. Figures which are preceded by a minus sign identify grades where female members of staff are paid more on average than male counterparts in the same grade.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Grade</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Mean</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Median</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Bonus</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>AA</p></td><td><p>-11%</p></td><td><p>-11%</p></td><td><p>N/A</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>AO</p></td><td><p>0%</p></td><td><p>0%</p></td><td><p>N/A</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>EO</p></td><td><p>-5%</p></td><td><p>-4%</p></td><td><p>-79%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HEO</p></td><td><p>-6%</p></td><td><p>0%</p></td><td><p>-53%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>SEO</p></td><td><p>1%</p></td><td><p>2%</p></td><td><p>-19%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Grade 7</p></td><td><p>5%</p></td><td><p>5%</p></td><td><p>34%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Grade 6</p></td><td><p>1%</p></td><td><p>0%</p></td><td><p>-26%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>SCS</p></td><td><p>7%</p></td><td><p>4%</p></td><td><p>39%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>To ensure figures are robust and meaningful, gender pay gaps within professions are presented where at least 100 men and 100 women are recorded in a profession. This is not possible for UKEF given our relatively small size.</p>
