Millions of jobs done by British women are paid less than the Real Living Wage, research shows today.
Some 2.07m posts held by women - 14% of the total - are below the pay level experts say is needed for a decent living standard, compared with 1.4m roles held by men - 9%.
Women are also more likely to be on zero-hours contracts, with 13% of those in shift work employed on the deals compared with 9% of men, according to an analysis by the Living Wage Foundation.
