As of today, New Zealand women are effectively working for free until the end of the year because of the 8.2% gender pay gap.

Based on that gap, the average Kiwi woman is paid 336 days for the equivalent of 366 days for men, according to the Ministry for Women.

      13 yo take. The point is that if a woman was born a man she’d be getting paid 8.2% more.

      Yes, this includes everything tied with being a woman. It’s “priced in”.
