New Zealand women 'still held back in the workplace'123rf Women are still expected to do the majority of work at home as well as pursuing a career, says a Massey University management expert. The Ministry for Women has a campaign focused on encouraging women into these areas as only one in five women were employed in those jobs. The 11.4 per cent pay gap between men and women, for example, needed to close. It was "trending down slowly", according to the report, with women getting a median of $21.23 to a man's $24.07. She was proud that 44 per cent of public sector leadership roles were held by women.
