Young women earn a fifth less than young men each year, equating to £4,000 less annually. For some, the gap is even larger. This election you can call for change and fight for fair pay: action.youngwomenstrust.org/…

Denying people access to housing is inhumane. It seems trying to turn us against each other is easier than providing the social housing we as a country desperately need. Let's build more social housing, not more division.

A quote from YWT's CEO Claire Reindorp reads: Starmer talked about the ‘class ceiling’, but we also know that for young women on low incomes there’s also a ‘broken rung’ which holds them back from progressing out of low pay at all – never mind making it to the top.

This is excellent from @YWTrust Shows how pay gaps emerge right at start of working life and aren't (just) about career breaks - it's the part-time penalty, occupational segregation, workplace practice and more. Our research finds same, e.g. on STEM careers, progression at work.

Women on average earn less per hour than men, have lower incomes than men, and have less wealth and lower savings than men, largely driven by their provision of unpaid and low paid care, which translates into lower pensions and higher poverty in older age. theguardian.com/business/202…

Women’s private pensions worth 35% less than men’s in Great Britain

Survey is first major government study into what has been termed ‘the great gender pension chasm’
