Not sure how you are calculating that. If I could just hire women at a lower rate than I do men I might actually achieve my budget!

Statistics New Zealand is calculating it.

Can you provide a link to your sources? Data not just a National policy piece. Site some actual instances where a woman was earning less?

http://www.stats.govt.nz/infoshare look under 'work income and spending', then 'Earnings and Employment Survey'. that's the official wage data
-
But which exact data are you using? This story shows different figureshttp://www.radionz.co.nz/programmes/brighter-future/story/201851311/brighter-future-pay-gap-low-on-agenda …

Hi Kirsty. NZIS ended in 2015. Median hourly earning data is now collected by HLFS. Median gap up from $1.79/hr in 2008 to $2.72/hr in 2016.

So, you're right - median hourly earnings would have been better to use, it shows gap widening more. But both show it's worse nominally & %.
