Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality

Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Paul Redmond:

If I may add to that, as my colleague said, new data have become available from the CSO. Our labour force survey now includes administrative wage data. To update the committee, 20 minutes before we came in this morning, I was looking at data from 2021 to see what the gender wage gap was from then. The figure was approximately 10%. It is a similar figure but it may have decreased slightly. The new data available to us now should be invaluable to us in getting more current estimates.
