Belief an improving gender pay gap is due to a weaker labour market.

Stats NZ's revealed the difference in pay between women and men fell to 5.2% in the June quarter - its lowest point to date

A year ago, it was 8.2%.

Mind the Gap co-founder Dellwyn Stuart told Ryan Bridge the number will likely go back up as the economy improves and more part-time jobs become available again for women.

She says they're still carrying majority of the parenting load and tend to opt for part-time roles more, which are often the ones cut first.
