Even though the workforce is almost 50:50 male to female workers, 88% of men work full-time, whereas this is true for 58% of women.
This is why a direct comparison is meaningless – saying that on average men earn more tells us nothing unless we take hours worked into account. Thus, tables such as 'Gender pay gap for median and mean hourly earnings, excluding overtime' are more hard to interpret. With full-time workers being paid a higher hourly rate than part-time workers, and males making up the majority of full-time workers (61% of them), this will skew the average in their favor. An interesting side note is that in part-time work, where women make up the majority of the workforce, the pay-gap is reversed, with males trailing by 5%.
