The living wage now stands at 21% higher than the National Minimum Wage of £6.50 an hour. 35,000 UK workers will be affected by the change, with over 1000 employers now accredited by the scheme, which is pushed by the Living Wage Foundation.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-line-height-alt:14.4pt'><span style='font-size:14.5pt;color:#413839'><a href="http://www.ier.org.uk/news/living-wage-increased-%C2%A3785-hour" target="_blank"><span style='color:#66667F;text-decoration:none'>Read More…</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><h2 style='mso-margin-top-alt:3.0pt;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:0cm'><span style='font-size:17.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#66667F'>Equal Pay Day 2014<o:p></o:p></span></h2><div style='margin-right:6.0pt;margin-bottom:6.0pt;float:left'><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape id="_x0000_s1034" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="" href="http://www.ier.org.uk/news/equal-pay-day-2014" target=""_blank"" style='position:absolute;left:0;text-align:left;margin-left:0;margin-top:0;width:75pt;height:55.5pt;z-index:9;mso-position-horizontal:left;mso-position-vertical:top;mso-position-vertical-relative:line' o:allowoverlap="f" o:button="t">

Last week the IER reported that the World Economic forum had revealed that the UK gender gap was widening – The UK fell out of the top 20 most gender-equal countries in the world for the first time this year, dropping to a ranking of 26 in the 2014 Global Gender Gap Report. This year’s equal pay day comes three days earlier than 2013’s. The frightening reality is that economic gender inequality is getting worse not better – and has being doing so since the coalition took power in 2010. Women earn on average £2.83 per hour less than men – and £5000 a year less than their male counterparts for doing similar jobs.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-line-height-alt:14.4pt'><span style='font-size:14.5pt;color:#413839'><a href="http://www.ier.org.uk/news/equal-pay-day-2014" target="_blank"><span style='color:#66667F;text-decoration:none'>Read More…</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-line-height-alt:14.4pt'><span style='font-size:14.5pt;color:#413839'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p align=center style='text-align:center;line-height:14.4pt'><a href="http://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/law/distance-learning-llm/distance-learning-llm-employment-law?utm_source=IER&utm_medium=banner&utm_content=Employment%20law%20LLM%20apply&utm_campaign=LAW9" target="_blank"><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=350 height=115 id="_x0000_i1026" src="http://www.ier.org.uk/sites/ier.org.uk/files/UOL_Law_120x35_0.gif" alt="http://www.ier.org.uk/sites/ier.org.uk/files/UOL_Law_120x35_0.gif"></span></a><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p></td><td width="40%" valign=top style='width:40.0%;padding:7.5pt 7.5pt 7.5pt 7.5pt'><div style='margin-right:6.0pt;margin-bottom:6.0pt;float:left'><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><h2 style='mso-margin-top-alt:3.0pt;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:0cm'><span style='font-size:17.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#66667F'>Help us to celebrate 25 years of the Institute<o:p></o:p></span></h2><div style='margin-right:6.0pt;margin-bottom:6.0pt;float:left'><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape id="_x0000_s1038" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="" style='position:absolute;left:0;text-align:left;margin-left:0;margin-top:0;width:150pt;height:99.75pt;z-index:13;mso-position-horizontal:left;mso-position-vertical:top;mso-position-vertical-relative:line' o:allowoverlap="f">
