The Fawcett Society’s 2023 Equal Pay Day report based on a UK-wide survey of working-age people. Examines how women access flexible work and why women disproportionately rely on lower-paid, insecure forms of flexibility such as part-time and zero-hours contracts. Makes the case for flexible work as a default across all job types and pay levels, with specific policy asks for government and employers.
