New research suggests that the salary expectation gap is widening rather than shrinking among Irish graduates, despite increased focus on pay disparity in recent years.
Female graduates expect to earn up to 14% less than their male counterparts annually, according to new research by Irishjobs.ie.
The study, which was conducted in partnership with employer brand specialist Universum, surveyed 11,769 students across the areas of business, IT, health, engineering and law.
