The Gender Pay Gap

Business Daily

Available for over a year

What can be done to close the gender pay gap around the world? Jane O'Brien reports from Philadelphia, where a new law prevents employers asking job applicants about their pay history, and Heather Melville from the Chartered Management Institute in the UK outlines the scale of the challenge in countries around the world. Plus Lucy Kellaway on what the viral video of a BBC interview gone wrong tells us about the gap between our work personas and our private lives.
