The gap between the pay of company executives and other workers is set to widen this year after falling during the height of the Covid pandemic, research by a think tank suggests.

The High Pay Centre said cuts to executive pay led to a fall in the median pay gap between bosses in FTSE 350 firms and employees last year.

But it said early data indicated that the gap will widen again in 2022.

Pay ratios were widest in retail and lowest in media and financial services.

Unions called for maximum pay ratios to "bring some fairness back" to the system.

Luke Hildyard, director of the High Pay Centre, said the think tank's report indicated companies showed "some sensitivity to the need to treat workers fairly and reduce vast pay inequalities during the pandemic".

"However, as the Covid-19 emergency hopefully reduces, it would be a shame if the spirit of solidarity it generated fades away as well," he added.

"With the dire outlook for the UK economy, how we share existing resource will become increasingly important."

Households are currently being hit by the rising cost of living, with food, fuel and energy prices all biting into budgets.

Prices were already rising as economies opened following pandemic restrictions, but war in Ukraine has led to further increases and wages are failing to keep pace.
