The 2010 National Management Salary Survey found that the pay awarded to women has increased by 2.8 per cent over the past 12 months, compared to the 2.3 per cent for male workers.
However, the research also pointed out that a male manager will still earn £10,071 more a year on average than a female manager and noted that this gap will take 57 years to close at current growth rates.
The survey also showed that in the IT sector, the gap between managers' salaries jumps to £17,736.
CMI head of policy Petra Wilton commented: 'Girls born this year will face the probability of working for around 40 years in the shadow of unequal pay.'
This month, Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology vice-president of marketing Jerri Barrett said that the IT industry needs to do more to attract female workers.
