A paper into the gender pay gap in the UK looked at 40 years of data from the UKLH and found:

*Class matters: Women earn 25% less than men in wealthy households. The gap is only 4% in poorer households, because poor men and women are paid so little in the UK. Policies that focus on women at the top (e.g. gender quotas for executive boards) risk feeding into rising populism by pitting poor men against rich women, as they are irrelevant to poorer households

*Part-time work cuts lifetime earning potential by 30%: A history of part-time work, longterm sickness, or unpaid care work, all have the same negative impact on wages – accounting for 30% of the gender pay gap. Men face a higher penalty for part-time work

*Sex discrimination persists: Simply being a woman accounts for 43% of the gender pay gap.

In the weeks after the October 7 Hamas attacks, many Israelis faced not only the trauma of war but also a surge of online hate. A new study from the Hebrew University finds that frequent exposure to such digital vitriol is linked to higher PTSD symptoms, especially for those who struggle to regulate their emotions, underscoring how today’s conflicts can wound both on the battlefield and on the screen.
