Impact of wage rise for women

From The Panel, 4:10 pm on 29 March 2019

New research has for the first time revealed the challenges and advantages of New Zealand's largest pay increase for women. The $2bn settlement is being introduced over a 5-year period and will see wages increase to up to $27 an hour. AUT's Katherine Ravenswood was the lead researcher and explains the way some employers have got around keeping their wage bills down, to the detriment of low paid workers.
