Is the inequality in pay about to change?

As years have gone by,the problem regarding pay rise has always been an outstanding issue between genders, however this issue may just be about to get better.

Firms/employers are now being forced by the government to publish wage figures in order to identify the 18% and higher wage difference between the two. The government hope that by forcing employers to publish their wage figures it will help them come to the realisation of the inequality between the salaries of men and women, also shining the light on how this occurs in a large amount of companies across the UK. 

The ITV have announced that 

'The new regulation announced today will see every firm with at least 250 workers supply the wage data from April next year.

The move has been hailed as the "most significant" gender legal change in nearly 50 years.

The government said it hoped it will lead to firms taking action as it bids to "eliminate" the pay gap "completely"

Maybe women will have all the power one day
