Ennis Chamber Calls For Gender Neutral Evaluation System To Address Wage Gap

Ennis Chamber is calling for a "gender neutral evaluation system" to address the gender wage gap in this county. A new CSO analysis of the most recent Census data has revealed than in Clare, men earn over 17% more than women annually on average. The findings have also highlighted that on a national level, women make up just 25% of employments in the top 1% of earnings. Ennis Chamber of Commerce CEO Margaret O'Brien has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons that Ireland needs to get in line with other European countries so that men and women have the same employment opportunities.
