The gender pay gap is increasing by £2.33 a month - which means working women are taking home more than £560 less than men.
New figures released by women’s rights charity the Fawcett Society to mark Equal Pay Day today shows that the shameful difference in after-tax earnings is up from £536 a month last year to £564 now.
Campaigners now want companies with as few as 100 staff to be made to report pay gap stats and are demanding bosses offer more flexible working.
