Jill Kirby reminds readers about the push to increase maternity leave. Comparisons across europe show that the longer the leave alowed the greater the "pay gap". Similarly countries with a high proportion of part time working have the highest gap. These simple facts seem always to be missed by the W & W C.

it always comes across in the Press that women are being payed less for doing the same job. Utter dross!!! There is a woman at my work on the same grade as me but works part time (4 day week) because she chooses to for personal reasons, this is the sort of thing that gets included in these statistics but that isn't made clear. If a woman decides to have a child and also wants the career then she should think about it and perhaps discuss with her partner as to who will be the breadwinner. My wife was completely at ease with stopping work and looking after the children, again that'll be another stat - she earns nothing. These reports in the paper make my blood boil, totally misleading and bereft of facts.
