// Asos is among some of the worst UK companies when it comes to gender pay gap
// A spokesperson for Asos did say that the online fashion retailer was taking action in order to narrow the gap
Asos has landed among some of the UK’s worst companies for the gender pay gap, despite figures narrowing two years in a row.
The Times has reported that Asos had a median pay gap of 44.8%, compared with 41% a year earlier.
Asos’s pay gap partly reflects a larger number of women working in mainly entry-level jobs, such as customer care.

The analysis also found that the overall median pay gap went down from 10 to 9.8% on last year’s levels.
Women at travel company Easyjet make £0.69p to every £1 a man does. The median pay gap at the budget airline was a colossal 63.6%.
A spokesperson for Asos said that the online fashion retailer was taking action in order to narrow the gap which included “hiring more women in leadership roles to working with our partners to empower female tech talent”.
