It's because they never look at work paid per hour or the type of industry involved; they look at a mean average of salaries and say "that should be equal" - if you take a high executive of a bank as the top end and you compare it to a cleaner working at 7 hours a week and a guy working 40 hours on an oil rig as the low end; it's going to look like the men are earning more. Try comparing work per hour and pay per hour; you might find that the rate of the pay is the same but more men are willing to do more overtime, work longer hours, work weekends, etc. It's debateable if it's good or bad but it's a personal choice not an inequality.

@@rubix4195 correct and its even deeper than that. If a man works for 20 years straight as a banker and a woman works on and off for 20 years as a banker because she had children, even then the man will more likely get paid more for the same kind of job because he has simply progressed more/had longer service. but in a report, that would be considered a pay gap. the problem is the gap is due to multiple reasons not just one and cherry picking gender does not mean that the gap is because of gender only... they are too simple to understand

Sounds like this law has been set up to push the assumption that men and women are biologically identical. You NEED to control for the various things that Kate specifies. Job description and hours worked especially. What you're going to end up doing otherwise is punishing the people who are promoted and earn more because they actually work harder. Nearly all of the people I work with who go that extra mile and work evenings and weekends are men. None of the women (except one) do. No-one knows why.

Equality of opportunity.....very reasonable and a great target! Equality of outcome / income......impossible to implement at least in a non-communistic / socialistic country and who wants that in the first place?

real equality would be dads getting custody of the kids 50% of the time in divorce, and dad having equal say as to who goes off, not just do what mum says...

I know in my office women out number men and most of the managers are women and the women that have children CHOOSE to do so knowing that they will get full pay for so many months then half pay after a given amount of months, yet they still CHOOSE to take time off to bring up the children often knowing they will lose some money. Even though men are now being allowed to share maternity leave I've still seen women still CHOOSE to take the time for themselves rather than give that time to the dad's, often it's because women CHOOSE family life as a priority over pay. It's a life choice that has been made, knowing full well that it will mean losing a certain amount of pay in the process. Why should a woman who chooses to take time off for children earn the same as a male who chooses not to have kids or take time off working 9-5 week in, week out.

so much wasted taxpayer money wasted on this feminist myth

Even with all variables controlled for you don't get an accurate picture of the status of women by looking only at wages, there being so many more single mothers than fathers you'd need to examine total income. It's only through support from fathers and the state that single-motherhood is financially viable, without it women wouldn't be able to work fewer hours in order to care for their children. On top of that you have disproportionate government expenditure on women generally.

All these journalists and supposed experts keep saying there is a pay gay but fail to name any companies or businesses that are paying women these poor amounts? I’d like to think all this data had to come from somewhere?🤨

Why should you be rewarded for working part time??? 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤨🙄

I can't believe how much time and effort is wasted on this non-issue.

These days even if you tell that women get paid the same for doing the same jobs you will be cancelled.

If only the facts would dictate the argument....!

Kate Andrews is wrong. I agree with her points about the wage gap but she is wrong about encouraging men to take a bigger role in child care and for women to take a smaller role. Women are natural caregivers and are designed to be focused on their child. A baby needs to be breastfeed for the first 2-3 years of their lives to be healthy. Forcing women to abandon this role hurts women and children.

There is no gender pay gap. This nonsense has been refuted multiple times.

Same old story. Idiots in power vs. people who know stuff.

I am a father of a daughter and I want the right people in the job regardless of what sex they are. I don’t want employers to pick employees based on their genitalia.

Ability and merit are the LAST factors feminists consider.

Yes let dads have the same opportunity to take time off to look after their children without being accused of being soft etc

As many others have mentioned. If women are paid 10 or 18 % less or whatever it is - I'd hire only women. In reality it's about 50/50 and people are paid on skills/qualifications/experience/talent and it is illegal not to do that.

Hmm, not sure what we could do about the "motherhood pay gap". I mean, sure it's not good to have a pay gap.. but if the mothers are raising a child and the non-mothers are working. Why shouldn't the non-mothers be paid for their work?

That blonde politician doesn't get it. 9:20 Women over 40 do not get "penalized", they make different life choices than men. If You leave the work force at 28 to raise children and come back at 38 You can expect to have less experience and therefore less pay.

There should be an enquiry into how this data was collated and presented. It misled a generation of women into believing the game was rigged against them when it wasn't. The real discussion should be centred around shared parental leave and child raising responsibilities because that's a big part of what's impacting on women's income after a certain age.

its not a pay gap, its an earnings gap caused by factors such as women on average not working As many hours as men, they are less likely to negotiate earnings than men and because women can go on pregnancy leave and these factors cause men to earn more overall. It isn't a pay gap because its illegal, very illegal and it would mess up companies image to risk it as well as that if it was allowed to laywoman less legally they would only hire women as a business' only concern is profit

PS: been living n working in the UK since August 2000 and guess what? 9 out of 10 of my previous managers/supervisors/teamleaders etc. were women and guess what???? They ALL got paid MORE then me that I'm a gay hard working man. Unfortunately I've had some manageress that actually could not do my job as good as me even if they tried for a year but they were there because they knew the right people or slept with the right people. Sad but true. Of course lots of others were managers because they had worked hard to get there but some where there only because what I've mentioned earlier.

Kate Andrews is spot on.

Yea, you are entitled to the same opportunities to progress in the work place, but you are not exempt from having to work the extra hours and put in the extra effort that someone else might to get the position. Almost every place I have worked that does leveled hiring within the company looks at things like overtime and peer reviews. You cannot expect to progress up in the work place if you do not put the effort in. You don't get rewarded for coming to work on time, you are expected to do so. Going above and beyond what you are rewarded for. That is where the difference can come in, there are women at my work that make more money than I do! Because some of them take more overtime than I do. It's that simple. And if you do a gender pay gap study that doesn't take those hours worked into account all of a sudden a woman is being paid more for the same job! See how misleading that can be? And worse its being done willfully. They are fully aware that if they actually look into the factors that matter and that will produce a true and fair result and the wage gap will disappear. Along with the job positions and raises companies are handing out to look more progressive. Imagine that, its almost like they have a vested interest in making it look like the are being discriminated against!

"Women and Equalities Committee" is a misnomer itself

I like Kate Andrews, she makes excellent points robustly and eloquently. I find myself wondering if the people calling for 'equality' in the work place really mean it. Do they *really* want equality in the workplace? Remind me, when are we going to introduce 2 weeks paid maternity leave for new mothers, to match paternity leave? When will women be expected to wear shirt and trousers, whatever the weather and temperature? With closed toe shoes? No exposed legs, toes or shoulders, please. And how long are we going to have to wait for inclusion and diversity quotas to be introduced for deep sea fishing, oil rigs, scoffolders, waste collectors or construction? I don't have the numbers but I wouldn't be surprised if there were more male workers who aren't CEOs or directors than women workers who are aren't CEOs or directors.

Kate Andrews is the only voice of reason in this debate. She uses facts and data and the opposition use feelings. These people must know how ridiculous they are but they seem to believe that if they repeat a lie enough times it becomes the truth. For many, their jobs depend on keeping up the pretense. The fact that the committee is called the Women's and Equality Committee says it all. Even the name is biased.

Kate Andrews makes a lot of sense

My wife took 2 weeks off from work for motherhood. I doubt she got paid less after 2 weeks.

Do all men in a typical company get paid the same? Do all male tennis players get paid the same as Serena Williams? Do all Liverpool players get paid the same as Mo Salah? Do women who work part-time or job share, or those who work in the canteen, expect to be paid the same as the CEO?

The GPG does exist, but in the other direction. Women make 18% more per ACTUAL WORKED hour. But ofc they do not look at ACTUAL hours, but only compare contract hours.
