Average hourly wage for women across the economy is 14.4% less than men
In Ireland women receive an average hourly wage across the economy which is 14.4% less than their male counterparts which, according to fashion designer and founder of Dress for Success Dublin, Sonya Lennon, means they are effectively working for free for the last seven weeks of the year.
"The gender pay gap is integral to our work as an organisation, as our role is to support women towards their economic independence," Ms Lennon says.
