General Scheme of the Gender Pay Gap Information Bill: Discussion
9:00 am
Dr. Kara McGann:
It will be useful to have that picture internally but it is just as important in a broad sense. It is not just a pay gap but a representation gap and we need to tackle gender balance across the board, in the business community and beyond. It is a societal issue and it requires a whole-of-society approach to tackle it. This will be a good diagnostic tool, as it will shine a spotlight on the issues and get conversations going but the actions to solve it are what is important.
