Gender Pay Gap Still Wide Says EOC

 

The Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) in Scotland has suggested that it will take at least another 20 years for female employees’ pay to fall into line with their male counterparts in full-time employment.  They also suggest that it will take 30 years for women in part-time employment to catch up.

Despite the Equal Pay Act having been on the statute book for over 30 years, women in full-time work still earn 14% less than men in full-time employment and 34% less than men in part-time work.

Moreover, the EOC says that the power gap for women in parliament will take 200 years to close and it will take 65 years for there to be a more equitable balance of women at the top of major companies.
