CIVILIAN WAR INJURY COMPENSATION. DIFFERENTIATION OF RATES AS BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN. Memo. by M/Pensions.

21 Oct 1942

for women in the Forces and the rate for gainfully occupied women civilians are identical, so that any gain by the latter, even if limited to that which the non-gainfully occupied women would derive from equalisation, would react directly on Service rates. The risk, therefore, applies in the highest degree to the form of compensation which is of the longest duration and thus of the greatest importance from a financial point of view. (2) The latest information we have been able to obtain as to the average levels of the earnings of men and women is contained in the Ministry of Labour Gazette for June 1942, and consists of/analysis in considerable detail of the earnings in all the main classes of employment in January 1942.
