Accountability and Transparency -The Gender Pay Gap
On the public services website, there is a report on Gender equality gap closing between 2018 to 2019. It is said to be at its lowest at 10.5%, however the action paln declares that it will be accountable and transparent.
The gender pay gap by each public sector entity, accompanied by numbers of women and men in each public sector entity must be published to be accountable and transparent to the NZ taxpayer
Why the contribution is important
Accountability and Transparency are frameworks for integrity and confidence in our Public Services. An Action plan on the gender gap is not measurable for the achievement of closing the gender pay gap.
New Zealand has committed to UN SDG 5.
We must be confident that progress is being made towards achieving this goal by 2030

Data and information on the Public Service gender pay gap and on gender representation for the whole sector and for individual agencies can be found in a few different places on the Te Kawa Mataaho Public Service Commission website.
On the Workforce data page (https://www.publicservice.govt.nz/our-work/workforce-data/)under Data drill down cube (https://www.publicservice.govt.nz/[…]/) you can compare various measures - including the gender pay gap - over time by sector and by individual agency.
Also on the Workforce data webpage, under 2020 Fact sheets (https://www.publicservice.govt.nz/[…]/) are various agency metrics, again including gender pay gaps for each agency. There is a link to 2019 Fact sheets at the bottom of the page. Data and information for previous years is on the Human resource capability data collection webpage (https://www.publicservice.govt.nz/our-work/workforce-stats/).
The Public Service is progressing gender equity under the Public Service Gender Pay Gap Action Plan 2018-20. Under the Plan, Public Service agencies published individual gender pay gap action plans in 2020: they are all on this Ministry for Women webpage (https://women.govt.nz/[…]/public-sector-gpg-action-plans).
