NEW ZEALAND YWCA - DEMAND EQUAL PAY
CAMPAIGN
HIGHLIGHTS WOMEN'S PAY DISPARITY
World
YWCA - 11/12/2012
YWCA Auckland has launched on November 29, 2012 a controversial campaign to highlight the pay disparity that exists between genders in New Zealand (NZ). A number of recent research findings and reports show that, on average, women in NZ are paid at least 10% less than their male counterparts, and the gap is widening. To put it into perspective a 10% pay disparity means women working fulltime in New Zealand would effectively stop being paid from November 29, while men similarly employed would stay on the payroll until the end of year.
According to the 2012 Statistics NZ Quarterly Employment Survey, a 10% gender pay gap is conservative; suggesting the disparity in earnings has actually increased to 14.18% in 2012. This is up 1.3% from 12.85% in the year to September 2012........
