A union leader is calling for mandatory reporting of gender pay differences. New research shows New Zealand is falling behind other western countries in closing the gap between men and women's wages.

The average gap in this country is nine per cent, but the difference in pay for a Pasifika woman and a Pākehā man is 25 percent.
