Statistics provided by the StatisticsNZ Quarterly Employment Survey show that the average hourly wage for men is $29.09, while women earn only $25.15 per hour.

That's a difference of nearly 12%.

In 2012 only 9.3 per cent of NZX-listed companies had women directors.

What do you think of the gender pay gap?

Why is it that women struggle to meet corporate heights?
