Dellwyn Stuart: Mind the Gap co-founder on the gender pay gap at the lowest it's ever been
Published 8 months, 1 week ago
Description
Belief an improving gender pay gap is due to a weaker labour market.
Stats NZ's revealed the difference in pay between women and men fell to 5.2 percent in the June quarter - its lowest point to date
A year ago, it was 8.2 percent.
Mind the Gap co-founder Dellwyn Stuart told Ryan Bridge the number will likely go back up as the economy improves and more part-time jobs become available again for women.
She says they're still carrying majority of the parenting load and tend to opt for part-time roles more - which are often the ones cut first.
