Haben die Linke-Wählenden überhaupt mal in deren Parteiprogramm geschaut? Da steht klar "Mehr Investitionen in Militarisierung und Aufrüstung lehnen wir ab." Sich dann aber Sorgen um den Schutz Deutschlands machen 🤦‍♂️

The latest findings using ASHE data reveal that hiring wage gaps between men and women still account for over half of the gender pay gap in Great Britain.

Even when hired into the same job, men earn 2.6% more.

I saw this neat trick a couple of months ago - in case you haven't, here it is again:

For page links in the bibliography, add this to your LaTeX preamble:

We analyse the rollout of the UK's nationwide AE mandate to answer this question.

Using administrative payroll-based data, first we confirm a large effect on participation rates which coincides with the employer’s staging date:
