Recent research has found that the gender pay gap is to remain until 2067, just a short 57 years away! The Chartered Management Institute has found that there is a 24% difference in male and female pay at senior level. The gap is considered to be worst in the Pharmaceutical and IT industries. The recent recession has also witnessed a difference in treatment between men and women, with 4.5% of the female workforce losing their jobs in comparison to 3%. The new Equality Act still has a lot of inequality to eradicate. We’ve come along way since 1975 but not far enough.
