Building understanding of pay gap drivers

We will grow our data to build understanding about drivers of Public Service pay gaps, making sure it is visible, available and used. We will weave this with the voices of wāhine, Māori, Pacific, ethnic, Rainbow and disability communities to inform our work.

Outcome

Information about the drivers of the Public Service pay gaps for Māori, Pacific and ethnic communities is visible, available, shared, and used.
