A research commissioned by the Ministry for Women shows that mothers suffer higher consequences than fathers when it comes to work opportunities and pay. The wage difference, which is already 5.7 percent between men and women without children, skyrockets to 12.5 percent between men and women who are parents.

Why is parenting still so gendered in New Zealand? And why being a mother makes you less entitled to a decent workload and pay?

Our producer Lisa Boudet spoke to Gill Greer, the Chief executive for the National Council of Women and spokesperson for Gender Equal New Zealand. She also talked to Dr Jackie Blue, the Equal Employment Commissioner from the New Zealand Human Right Commission.
