In line with statutory requirements, CAFOD takes a snapshot of average pay for women and men employed in the UK.
We compare both the median and mean hourly pay as well as reviewing the gender distribution by pay levels. When the snapshot was taken on 5 April 2025, the distribution of UK employees was 62.07% women and 37.93% men.
Mean: In 2025 women were paid 5.05% less than men.
Median: In 2025 women were paid 3.02% less than men.
Our gender pay gap remains well below the national average (median) for 'all employees', which is currently 13.1% (as reported by the Office for National Statistics on 29 October 2024).
