Gender pay gap is smaller in the third sector, says research - Third Sector

Gender pay gap is smaller in the third sector, says research - Third Sector: "Women make up more than two-thirds of the third sector workforce and suffer from less of a gender pay gap than they do in the private and public sectors, according to a briefing paper published by the Third Sector Research Centre this week.

The paper, Women's Leadership, Employment and Participation in the Third Sector and Social Enterprises, says women account for 67 per cent of third sector employees, compared with 64 per cent in the public sector and 40 per cent in the private sector."
