Abstract
The gender pay gap is a symptom of the pervasive inequalities inherent in modern society. Among doctors, the gap has been increasing. The Gender Pay Gap in Medicine Review is exploring the scale of the problem and the reasons behind it. Although motherhood and flexible working both contribute to the salary discrepancy, the aetiology is complex and multifactorial, with important roles played by recruitment and representation of women at senior levels, as well as gender occupational segregation. Addressing the root causes of gender inequalities and shining a light on the pay gap data are both required in order to one day close the gap.
