Politics, gender and pay podcast

Jenny talks to Jill Wood from Engender about the Labour leadership race, women in politics, and the gender pay gap. How are women doing in Scottish politics? Why, 44 years on from the Equal Pay Act, do men get on average 13% more pay than women in Scotland? And is the pay gap women’s ‘fault’? Have a listen to find out.
