Another 118 Years to Close Pay Gap Between Men and Womn


The World Economic Forum believes it will take another 118 years to close the global pay gap between men and women.
Data from the Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report says women are only now earning the amount that men did in 2006 — a global average of  over 11 thousand dollars ( £7,300; €10,400) for women compared with more than 20 thousand dollars (£13,500; €19,200) for men.

Rachel Silverman has that story.
