		</div><p>The BBC gender pay gap is closing, with the British broadcaster reporting “strong progress” in reducing differences in male and female earnings.</p>
<p>A discrepancy in hourly pay of almost 9.3% was reported between men and women in 2016/17, with male employees earning almost 10% more per hour of work. This gap has been reduced over the course of a year, with a new report by the BBC finding an average gap of 7.6% in hourly pay.</p>
<p>In a 2016/17 annual financial report, it was revealed that the top seven earners at the BBC were men, and the disparity was reported across the service in average hourly pay.</p>
<p>A report on the 2017/18 financial year records that the median pay gap has been reduced, with the wording of the report stating: “As at 2017/18, this figure stands at 7.6% – down by nearly a fifth from the previous year.</p>
<p>“This represents strong progress in the BBC’s aim to close the organisational gender pay gap by the end of 2020.”</p>
<p>The gap is calculated from median pay, meaning the mid-point in the male and female salary ranges are selected and compared.</p>
<p>Overheads at the BBC now stand at 5.7% of the total spend of £3.4bn (€3.8bn), according to the latest report. Senior management roles have been slashed by half, and more than 1,000 jobs have been reduced.</p>
