Men urged to be 'allies' to combat Jersey's gender pay gap
Men have been invited to "unite" with women at a roundtable discussion on how to tackle the gender pay gap in Mourant from Mind the Gap - a group of female business leaders advocating for gender parity - said eight men were already signed-up to the event, which would focus on "ally-ship". At the heart of talks will be the 6.3% average pay gap between men and women, she said, with men earning on average £2 more than women per hour, according to a Statistics Jersey report published in March."We really believe that narrowing the gap benefits both men and women and we are only going to speak from a position of power if we are united," said Ms Mourant. The gender pay gap is widest in the finance and information sectors where men get paid more than 20% extra, according to Statistics gap also tends to widen as workers get older, peaking in people's 50s, according to the report. Ms Mourant said: "We have been told by male colleagues that they don't really know how to support us so we are delivering a roundtable about how best we can work together."She said the goal was to "hear experiences" and gain insights into what people could do to "move forward and let go of biases which are deeply ingrained in us as a society".She said the subject was "contentious" adding: "Most people will assume men and women can't get paid differently for doing the same job."That isn't the gender pay gap. We're talking about the average, the difference in earnings between men and women." She said reasons given for this gap included taking maternity time or a lack of said there was also a school of thought that women "lacked confidence" but that this was a "debunked myth"."If we start drilling down into different sectors and age ranges that disparity becomes absolutely wider."For us, this is all about bringing men into the conversation because we know we can't make change unless all of us are moving in the same direction."

Statistics Jersey publish inward migrant analysis
Fewer than half of the people who came to live in Jersey in 2017 were still there in 2023, a report has found. The study by Statistics Jersey also found the most likely groups to remain in Jersey were young working adults aged 16-29 and people with registered report looks at the group of inward migrants who moved to Jersey in 2017, exploring their characteristics and experiences over a six-year come from the period between 2017 and 2023, which included both Brexit (the UK leaving the EU) and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which Jersey Statistic's said could have impacted migration trends. People from Poland in particular were far less likely to stay than those from Britain, Portugal, and Madeira, the study showed.
