Yet another report on the gender pay gap. Some sensible things apparently and I’ll look for a copy of the report later. However:

“As the gender pay gap at the age of 30 is about 20 per cent, this suggests it will take 150 years for this gap to disappear.”

That 20% looks high. Are they confusing the public/private/full time/part time/men/women gaps all together?

The report on women’s salaries found that even those who worked
full-time and did not take career breaks would earn 12 per cent less
than their male counterparts after ten years.

If they pay gap is indeed because (as they suggest) women take time off to have children, then we’d still expect to see a gap because women might take time off to have children.

Bet they didn’t include the research which shows that the very existence of periods explains 12% of the gender pay gap, eh?
