Ateb
Atebwyd gan Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
Welsh Government’s Equality, Race and Disability Evidence Units are working with Knowledge and Analytical Services to explore a number of different techniques to allow more granular analysis of pay gaps for protected and associated characteristics including data pooling and data linking.
Discussions to secure access to administrative data held by other government departments on pay are well developed and moving towards a data sharing agreement. If successful, the Welsh Government will be able to link pay data to other sources such as Census 2021 to be able to publish more granular analysis than is currently possible.
