Senior news reporter Russell Hargrave and editor Emily Burt sit down with Nicole Sykes, director of policy and communications at the think tank Pro Bono Economics, to discuss new research into a wage gap between charity staff and people working in other sectors.
The findings revealed that voluntary sector workers faced a collective “wage penalty” of nearly £1.5bn in 2019 compared with workers elsewhere in the economy.
And Pro Bono Economics warned that with the size of the charity sector workforce rising faster than other parts of the economy, an increasingly large section of the UK’s workforce is earning less than they could if they worked in other sectors.
The full report from Pro Bono Economics is available here.
This week’s Good News Bulletin features two very different Guinness World Record attempts – and Emily signs off the podcast for the foreseeable future as she prepares for a brand new arrival.
