Pay discrimination costs women £330,000

Liberal Democrat MP Jo Swinson is in today’s Daily Mail commenting on the latest finding of pay discrimination:

Women who work full-time lose as much as £330,000 during the course of their life because of the gender pay gap, it was claimed yesterday.

They still earn more than 17 per cent less than men on average and campaigners say it will take at least two decades for them to catch up …

Lib Dem equality spokesman Jo Swinson accused the Government of “dithering”. She said: “Their timid action taken means the pay gap still persists from the shop floor all the way to the boardroom.”
