Gender Pay Equity in Universities w/ Professor Alex James: September 12, 2022

New research into gender pay equity in Aotearoa New Zealand universities from the University of Canterbury explores interventions that will improve representation of women at higher levels of academia and therefore address pay equity. This research builds on the authors’ previous work published in 2020 which found that over her career, a woman employed on academic staff at a New Zealand university can expect to earn about $400,000 less than a man.

Joe had the opportunity to speak to Professor Alex James, from the University of Canterbury, who co-authored the study.
