1. Introduction • Recent research on low pay
o A revival of interest o Greater interest in the direct income distribution

2. Data & Research Q’s Data
o CSO data from SILC 2013 o Looking at hourly earnings data for employees o Low Pay thresholds:
• Two-thirds of median hourly earnings (specified group) • €11.45 per hour
![Page 8: Women and Low Pay - nerinstitute.net€¦ · 3. Female Low Pay in Profile . Women and low pay . oDetails table 4.1a and 4.1b (see p34-35) • 60% of the low paid are women = 207,000](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060720/6080c3cced50e829cd02cc04/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Research Questions: o Previous examinations found women more likely to be low
paid, so: • Who are these low paid female workers? • How far below the low pay threshold is their pay? • How important is this income to their living standards?
![Page 9: Women and Low Pay - nerinstitute.net€¦ · 3. Female Low Pay in Profile . Women and low pay . oDetails table 4.1a and 4.1b (see p34-35) • 60% of the low paid are women = 207,000](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060720/6080c3cced50e829cd02cc04/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
3. Female Low Pay in Profile Women and low pay
o Details table 4.1a and 4.1b (see p34-35)

6. Next Steps o A forthcoming research paper
• 2014 data update • Econometric analysis to do • However, not all that different to overall picture…
o Points to: • Adequacy issues regarding pay in certain sectors • Sustainability/stability of that employment income • role beyond hourly rates • barriers to work and more work
