To help reduce the inequality, the Ministry for Women has launched an online tool for businesses.

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.

    It’s like comparing a newbie and a senior by median pay and claiming they should be paid the same because they are human.

    No. Male VS Female is the entire population. A newbie vs a senior is the smallest most biased possible way to compare.

    I personally think it’s hilarious that you decided that “senior vs junior” is the best way to exemplify gender gap.

    The article might be simple, but you’re example is plain bad.

      Replace junior and senior by “less experienced” and “more experienced” if you like. The example is to show that apples aren’t being compared to apples.
