"The price women pay to have children during their careers equates to a salary gap of about £300,000 (S$591,800) with that of men's, new data shows.
Women in the UK will on average earn 24-per cent less than men across a 52-year working life, analysis by recruitment company Robert Half published on Monday demonstrates.
This is mainly due to the breaks mothers take in their careers to have children. Many women struggle to return to work after having children, with the cost of childcare outweighing that of a lot of salaries."
