Sobering stuff from the Women's Wealth Report. The #GenderPayGap starts in childhood, which is clearly not 'merit'. Ditto the lower rate of women asking for pay rises; stop asking women to ask for more, and fix the #GenderBias that punishes them for doing so. www.finder.com.au/insights/sta...
Key statistics 

Australian women hold 40% less net wealth than men on average

35% of women aged 65+ have less than $1,000 in savings, compared to 22% of men

The gender pay gap begins in childhood, girls are paid pocket money of $7.50 per week on average, compared to $10.30 for boys.

Men are more likely to ask for a pay rise (24% of men asked, compared to only 14% of women).

When they do get a pay rise, women receive less: on average $2,424, compared to $4,000 for men.

Do we sometimes ask too much of healthcare professionals? Is this something we need to discuss? See: medicsvoices.com/nicki-mackli... @nickimacklin.bsky.social
