MALE-FEMALE SALARY DIFFERENTIALS IN BRITISH UNIVERSITIES

ROBERT MCNABB and VICTORIA WASS

Cardiff Business School, University of Wales Cardiff CF1 3EU

The average salary differential between male and female academics in Britain in 1992 exceeded 15%. Using individual data covering all full-time academic staff in the old universities for the years 1975, 1985, and 1992, we find that a significant part of the differential is explained by the fact that women are under-represented in senior ranks. However, even after controlling for rank, age, tenure, and faculty, a gender effect in the remuneration of British academics remains. Moreover, neither the average salary-gap nor that part attributable to an independent gender effect have fallen since 1975.
