SET Occupations 2009
Equal Pay for Women in SET, 2009
The 30th October is Equal Pay Day, a day of action lead by the Fawcett Society
to draw attention to the fact that on average women’s full time mean hourly pay
is 17.1% less than men’s. The 30th of October symbolically marks the last pay
cheque that women receive in a year, since compared with men they work on average
for about two months a year without pay. The UKRC supports this day of action
since there is also a gap between women’s and men’s pay in SET occupations, and
we encourage women in SET and SET organisations to support the Fawcett day of
action by engaging in some of the activities listed on the Fawcett web page www.fawcettsociety.org.uk.

Girls do well in SET A Levels
(A full report is available here)
Girls are consistently performing well in those A level SET subjects that they
attempt. The trend in the UK for girls being slightly more likely than boys (who
are also performing well) to obtain a grade A-E in SET A level subjects continues
in 2009. The differences in performance between girls and boys are greatest in
information and communication technologies and in computing where the success
rate (obtaining a grade A-E) of girls was 2.6 percentage points higher than that
of boys; and in physics when it was 2.0 percentage points higher.
Girls are also achieving a higher percentage than boys of A grades in SET A levels, but not consistently across all subjects. The subjects that show the largest differences in performance are:
Figure 1 below shows the actual numbers of girls attempting all SET A level subjects, and also charts this number as a percentage of the total entrants. This shows that girls are over 50% of entrants only in biology, although they have nearly reached this proportion in chemistry where they are 48.4%. In maths, technology and ICT girls ‘hover’ around the 40% mark. In further mathematics, and combined sciences they make up nearly one third of entrants. In physics they are just over 20% of entrants, and in computing they are not quite 10% of entrants.
Girls are also achieving a higher percentage than boys of A grades in SET A levels, but not consistently across all subjects. The subjects that show the largest differences in performance are:
- technology subjects where 21.3% of girls scored an A grade compared to 15.4% of boys : a difference of 5.9 percentage points
- physics: where 36.4% of girls scored an A grade compared to 30.7 % of boys: a difference of 5.7 percentage points
- Information and communication technologies (ICT): where13.3% of girls scored an A grade compared to 8.2 % of boys: a difference of 5.1 percentage points.
