Is hybrid work quietly perpetuating the gender pay gap?

Women are more likely to choose hybrid work to help balance career and life. And they are prepared to pay for the privilege.

Women will trade-off a greater proportion of their salary than their male counterparts for flexible working. How much more? Nearly 5% more.

A woman on $110k p.a. would sacrifice up to $19,140 per year, to enjoy the benefits of hybrid work (4 days flexible vs being in the office full-time). This compares to $13,860 for her male counterpart.

“For me it’s not about more money like a salary bump,
as the opportunity cost for me would be having to drop
to part-time work to manage my young family.
I do not want to return to the workplace full-time!”
