Reader Letter: Let’s take a different look at the gender pay gap debate
There seems to be much written about male and female pay gender, nearly always saying men are paid more than women for the same job. There are instances where this is patently not correct. I would like to give an example. My wife (of nearly 60 years) and I have discussed what I would pay for her the usual division of labour, ie housework, etc, which she does 90pc of the work and I do 10pc. I have reluctantly accepted that five pounds per hour is about right giving her £250 per week for 50 hours' work.
