Assessment 2: Group Video
In a word, gender gap at work in the UK is narrowing, but the gap still exists. Pandemic has a significant impact on the growth of leadership in HE institutions. In terms of the pay gap, changes in the overall pay gap are consistent with data shared by Twitter users and reported by Guardian journalists, both falling sharply in 2020. But we need further research and more evidence to see if they are correlated. Our research on this topic is mainly limited by the following two points. First, the selected examples belong to special industries, and the impact reflected is only representative to a certain extent. Besides, the data is too complex, and there are too many parameters that can measure changes to see a noticeable effect. In the future, firstly, we plan to continue to refine the existing data about gender pay gap and leadership gap. Secondly, we want to pay attention to whether the gender inequality in unpaid work has changed within a pandemic context, which is reflected in housework and childcare work. Lastly, we plan to continue to study the change of remote working on gender inequality, starting from the industries that accept remote working.
