The ethnicity pay gap is defined by the UK's Office for National Statistics (ONS) as the difference between the average hourly earnings of White British and other ethnic groups as a proportion of average hourly earnings of the White British group.

The ONS has published figures based on newly reweighted earnings data from the existing Annual Population Survey.


Ethnicity pay gap reporting by employers in the UK is not yet mandatory, although a number of larger employers have reported their ethnicity pay gap on a voluntary basis.

Gender pay gap reporting is already mandatory in the UK for larger organisations.


In the United States, larger employers are required to report both of their ethnicity and gender pay gaps by 30 September 2019, in respect of 2017 and 2018.
