As of today, New Zealand women are effectively working for free until the end of the year because of the 8.2% gender pay gap.

Based on that gap, the average Kiwi woman is paid 336 days for the equivalent of 366 days for men, according to the Ministry for Women.

I start effectivity working for free in early January when you compare my pay to the CEO's pay.

13 yo take. The point is that if a woman was born a man she'd be getting paid 8.2% more.

Yes, this includes everything tied with being a woman. It's "priced in".
