As an example, company of 100, 50 women. Boss is paid £500k, everyone else gets UK median £35k. Whichever sex the boss is they now show a 26% gender pay gap.

If the boss gets 3x the median, that's a 4% gap.

I'd like to see analysis which looks at same qualified people and charts their progression with attempts to understand why their wage changed and whether those changes have any discernible sex bias.

Men seem to fall across a wider distribution (both higher and lower paid), as appears in other characteristics.
