When a woman paid more than a man? When she is single, according to the latest figures. “Pay gap” has found that the difference in earnings for men and women in their 20’s is “non-existent”.
And women who choose to stay single earn more than single men throughout their lives.
The breakdown, publishes by the Office of National Statistics, showed women matched men in the pay stakes from when they left university until they reached 30 – the point at which, on average, a woman had her first baby.
The real pay gap comes after women have their children and many decide either to give up careers or ease back on work.
The figures refute claims of a 17 per cent pay gap between the sexes and economist. People earn the same until they get together, and they make choices about work, family and lifestyle.
In reality, the pay advantage lies with women and the whole pay gap debate should stop now.
The British Government’s Equality and Human Rights Commission insists the pay gap does exist and that it reflects discrimination against women.
One of the major cause of pay gap, beyond the concern about women and men who are paid different rates for the same job, is the fact that they choose low-skill, part-time jobs after they have children.
