Last Sunday it was International Women's Day and so this week we decided to explore some of the inequalities that still exist between men and women by debunking the gender pay gap. We compared different gender pay gaps across a variety of countries, including the Nordics, Rwanda and South Korea. What remains fairly consistent in the West is the fact that the gender pay gap widens significantly after a woman has children, and so we discussed the idea of the Motherhood Penalty and how it needs to be broken down by reforms to paternal leave.
