Information on the gender pay gap and other equalities statistics and research.

 We carry out research into equalities groups and analyse data to:

  • identify where work needs to be done to tackle disadvantaged and low represented groups in the community
  • make sure everyone gets equal access to our services

Gender pay gap

We publish our gender pay gap every 12 months. The gender pay gap report shows the pay gap between female and male Bristol City Council employees for the year ending 31 March 2019. 

Statistics and research 

Key statistics about equalities communities 

Equalities Statistics for Bristol what is available and where to get it? can be found on our population of Bristol page, together with 2011 Census Equalities Profiles.

Quality of Life in Bristol 

The Quality of Life survey is a yearly survey carried out in Bristol. It gives us information about the quality of life for Bristol's residents.  It's broken down by ward, equalities groups and areas of deprivation. 

Equalities monitoring 

We monitor people by equalities group to identify any inequalities in service delivery and in employment.

This information helps us to:

  • take action to reduce differences in the uptake, representation and outcomes experienced by different service users and our employees.
  • improve our services for the benefit of Bristol's communities

Open Data Bristol 

The Open Data Bristol project has data and information about Bristol, including useful information about people with protected characteristics. You can look at the Quality of Life survey responses by equalities groups
