Today is Equal Pay Day, where the Fawcett Society will renew their call to the government to bridge the gender pay gap. The gap that currently exist between male and female full-time staff is in the region of 17%, which is equivalent to a woman receiving her last pay cheque of the year in October, which in this day and age I find quite a shocking statistic.
Research carried out by CMI shows that overall remuneration when taking a job is a lower priority for women than it is for men and it is believed that employers take advantage of this, offering lower wages to women than they would to their male counterparts. The research also showed that women treat how the role interacts with their home life and whether it involves late night work with a higher level of importance than pay.
