There are two elements to women being paid less. Both exist, but they are deliberately conflated for reasons.
One is that women do get paid less for the same job on average.
The second is that jobs which women tend to do get paid less than jobs which men tend to do, either through different industries or through different opportunities.
It’s not as clear as “yes” though, and there is little evidence boiling down to the “same job” disparity.

You're being misleading.
“Chinese and Indian employees had higher earnings compared with White British employees, while Bangladeshi and Pakistani employees earned less compared with White British employees.”

This is more noteworthy than weaker studies which attempt, often poorly, to assess pay differentials between employees in the exact same role at the exact same company.
