Women earn on average ___ less than men in Britain
Sorry to break it to you but last year female employees in Britain earned on average 12% less than male ones.
Childcare issues and job losses during Covid-19 may mean that women will not earn the same as men for 90 years, the Fawcett Society ( @fawcettsociety) calculated

Women are also more likely to work in sectors that have had to shut down during lockdown, research by think-tank the Resolution Foundation ( @resfoundation) has shown.
An additional problem is that we don& #39;t have data on the gender pay gap for 2020. In March the Government said companies would not have to report their gender pay gap in light of the Covid-19 crisis.

Mothers are ___ more likely than fathers to have lost or quit their job since lockdown began
Mothers are 47% more likely than fathers to have lost or quit their job since the lockdown began.
Around 16% of mothers are no longer in work as a result of the pandemic, compared to 11% of fathers.
If that was not enough of a problem, 1 in 4 new or soon-to-be mothers claim to have faced discrimination at work during lockdown, such as being singled out for redundancy or furlough, according to the Trades Union Congress ( @The_TUC)
Women will be thousands of pounds worse off and have their careers pushed back by years as a result of Covid-19.

We launched a campaign, #EqualityCheck, calling on the Government to consider the disproportionate effect its Covid-19 policies are having on women.
