It’s been four decades since the Equal Pay Act was first released, but women still do not earn as much as men.

The average gap is so significant that women are ostensibly working for free from today when compared to their male counterparts.  

This divide is even more pronounced when you look at the pay of Aotearoa’s Māori and Pasifika. 

So why does this problem persist? How much progress has actually been made in recent years? And what can be done to speed up the progress toward pay equity? 

Today, I’m joined by the chair of Global Women, former CEO of Telecom, and longtime campaigner for pay parity Theresa Gattung,  to talk about the cost of being a woman.
