FOCUS : PAY INEQUALITY
Working for a Pacific social service, Fonua Ola, I am often reminded of the ever present social inequities in Aotearoa. During lockdowns especially, like many organisations, we are inundated with requests for food support. Many families are struggling to afford basic costs of living.
Pacific high school students are leaving high school to support their family’s survival and although this is not new, lockdown has placed even more pressure on families. The past 20 years have seen minimal movement in regards to addressing the pay gap.
Reporting is one step in the right direction. Reflecting on this year’s apology for the dawn raids, I am appreciative for the healing it may have facilitated for the generations before mine. But we are the generation who have been afforded the voice and space to ask for more.
We need the government to mandate organisations to report their ethnic and gender pay gaps because this means a commitment to closing these gaps. Systemic change flows through to organisations, to employees, to families and to the future.
