New Zealand's pay gap puts Australia's to shame, but it's still a lot better than South Korea.
According to OECD comparisons, New Zealand is among the leaders in its gender pay gap.
The gap is still there, but at a 6 per cent difference between the male and female full-time median wages it's significantly smaller than almost everywhere else in the world.
By comparison Australia's pay gap is 15 per cent, and Korea's is 37 per cent.
The causes of the pay disparity were explored in a research paper from the International Monetary Fund in 2015, which studied differences between Korea and Nordic countries boasting small pay gaps.
