The cost of living crisis is widening the gender pay gap making women less financially stable according to a survey by Young Women's Trust. Almost half of young women think their finances worsened over the last year compared to around a third of young men.
@LizSummers reports
You can't solve a problem if you don't know its true scale or its causes.
The hourly #GenderPayGap masks the extent of the financial injustice women face and how early it kicks in. Current price tag for being a women in your 20s? £5k less income per year.

We are looking for an inspiring, well connected chair for @YWTrust.
We’re buzzing with energy & a renewed sense of mission as we embark on our new strategy. We have a strong purpose to close the income gap which sets young women back.
Now we need someone awesome to lead us!
A brilliant piece.
What is #IWD when stripped of its political purpose?
A story from India that will resonate with women everywhere.

"As long as there is a big gap between the women who have the most freedoms, and those with the least, our work as feminists is not yet over."
Strongly recommend this thought-provoking read by @zoyajpatel in @guardian. #Feminism

Young women are some of the worst affected by the #CostOfLivingCrisis.
They are more likely to:
➡ Work in lower paid jobs
➡ be on benefits
➡ be prevented from taking on more paid hours because of childcare costs
The government must listen to young women. #CostingOurFutures
Young women are disproportionately affected by the cost of living crisis as they earn less than young men in the first place. A huge talent pool being wasted for archaic reasons. Many are really struggling when they should be building a bright future #CostingOurFutures
Young women are fearing the winter and their futures.
Instead of setting themselves up for the future they’re struggling to survive from day to day.
Please take action! Sign our open letter asking politicians to listen to young women: https://t.co/xiLGIkUfg0 #CostingOurFutures
