The poor hearing makes a lot of sense 🙄
theifs.bsky.social The Institute for Fiscal Studies @theifs.bsky.social · 20d
Women aged 55 to 64 are more likely than men of the same age to report experiencing a wide range of health conditions.

Of the 12 conditions we measure in our data, there was only one more likely to be experienced by men than women (poor hearing).
Chart shows percentage of 55- to 64-year-olds experiencing health conditions by sex, 2023–24. Title states: "The overall health of women in their late 50s and early 60s is markedly lower than men’s on average."

Speaking at our event @chris-smyth.bsky.social says that while the overall scale of economic inactivity is unknown, ill-health is increasing is pushing it up. For the first time, young women are more likely to be economically inactive due to poor health, rather than looking after family.

Important findings from the latest wave of the Next Steps study 👇

Data from the Age 32 sweep suggests that women earn 12.5% less per hour than men- with even bigger gaps for mothers than fathers.

If you cannot access this link, more info at cls.ucl.ac.uk/millennial-w... and cls.ucl.ac.uk/wp-content/u...
Millennial women earn 9% less than men in same jobs
This gender pay gap was even wider for mothers but fathers earned a similar amount to men without children, the report said

New #NextStepsStudy research on the gender wage gap finds that women in their early 30s are more likely than men to find work stressful, suggesting that they are not accepting lower pay for less pressured and more fulfilling work.
