Mind The Gap – Gender Pay Gap Reporting

Gender pay gap reporting promotes transparency and accountability in relation to the pay levels of both men and women. Its primary objective is to eliminate inequality of pay between them. 

The issues which contribute to the disparity between the pay of men and women are well rehearsed. They include gender segregation in education and in the workplace, the challenges of balancing work and family life, the role of the woman as the primary caregiver to children, the availability and affordability of childcare and the pay structures that exist within organisations

While gender pay gap reporting does not tackle these issues directly, it has been internationally accepted as a progressive step in closing the gap between men and women in terms of pay.
