Black working mums are being forced to quit their jobs due to being hit by the ‘Motherhood Pay Penalty’, a report has found.
The Ethnicity Motherhood Pay Penalty Report, by the Fawcett Society, shows Black and minoritised women earn considerably less during their lifetime, with women with two children taking home 26 per cent less than women without children.
The shocking report, supported by the #EthnicityPayGap Campaign, shows income is considerably less for a mother due to the reductions in hours worked, which is often associated with poor-quality part-time work.
