<p>The gender pay gap has fallen by almost 1% to 15.5% based on average earnings of full-time workers, official figures have shown.</p>
<p>The difference in men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s earnings narrowed from 16.4% after a bigger rise in the hourly earnings of women over the past year, said the Office for National Statistics.</p>
<p>Men&#8217;s average hourly pay was £16.25, up by 1.1% from a year ago, while women&#8217;s pay increased by 2.2% to £13.73.</p>
<p>On another way of measuring the gender pay gap, the so-called median rate, the difference narrowed from 12.2% to 10.2%, the biggest drop since the measure began in 1997.</p>
<p>The figure is the level at which half of pay falls above and half below and is based on full-timers&#8217; hourly pay rates, excluding overtime.</p>
<p>ONS statistician Mark Williams said: &#8220;This year&#8217;s results continue the pattern we&#8217;ve seen in recent years of the gender pay gap tending to get narrower. In 1997 the gender pay gap in median earnings for full-timers was around 17% and it&#8217;s now dropped to around 10%.&#8221;</p>
<p>Almost nine out of 10 male workers were full-time compared with 58% of women, while the UK workforce was made up of 12.7 million men and 12.3 million women, the figures for the year to April showed.</p>
<p>Median weekly earnings for all full-time workers were £499, up by 2.1% from the previous year, with men earning £538 compared with £439 for women.</p>
<p>The figure was highest in London at £642 and lowest in Northern Ireland at £441.</p>
<p>Earnings of part-time workers increased by 0.7% to £154, with women earning more than men at £157 compared with £142, said the ONS.</p>
