The unadjusted gender pay gap is the median indvidiual female earnings as a percentage of male earnings.

Much of that difference is likely due to the number of hours worked (see the Full Time vs Part Time Work chart), occupations chosen (see the Employed by Occupation chart), education, and job experience.
