My app is designed for job seekers, employees, investors and researchers interested in detailed gender pay gap information for each company. The data is consistently presented for all companies, with links to company-prepared reports that typically explain the factors driving pay gap differences.
I use Ryanair as the default example because, while it’s immediately apparent that the upper pay quartile is dominated by men, the company’s report shows why. The top pay category is primarily occupied by pilots—a well-paid role with equal pay for men and women. The real mystery to me, as a pilot myself, is why are there so few women pilots?
I also focused on individual companies rather than the aggregate. I was concerned that using the average or mean of all the companies might be misleading since it gives equal weighting to all companies regardless of the number of employees.
