While part-time women workers are ahead of part-time men by more than five per cent, among full-time workers in their 20s, wages for men are less than half a percentage point ahead of those for women.
Researchers found that female entrepreneurs in UK out-earn their male counterparts by 17 per cent, Daily Mail reported.
The sex breakdown of how company owners pay themselves was produced in a study among 2,000 high-earning clients by Barclays Wealth and Investment Management.
It found that women running their own businesses paid themselves 382,000 pounds, a figure 16.8 per cent higher than the equivalent of 327,000 pounds for men.
In contrast, women executives working for other people's businesses typically earned 217,000 pounds, some 21 per cent lower than the 273,000 pounds earned by men.
