 83. 84. F. the Employment Court must take into account evidence of systemic undervaluation of the work in question derived from current or historic or structural gender discrimination. In response to this case the government has established two new processes:  the Government Joint working party on equal pay principles across the whole workforce to develop a set of principles for implementation of equal pay in female dominant work forces; and  a process to negotiate a settlement for care and support workers to try and resolve the TerraNova case before it is due to return to court in March 2016. The Committee may wish to consider including the following questions in its LOIPR for New Zealand:  What steps is the government taking to increase the participation of Māori, Pacific People and disabled people in the labour market?  What steps is the government taking to increase the representation of women in corporate governance and senior management in the public sector?  What steps is the government taking - together with NZX - to require listed companies to establish and disclose gender polices including measurable objectives and implementation in their annual reports in line with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights?  What is the government’s position on the use of special measures in both the public and private sector to assist in accelerating the realisation of women’s equality with men in light of the fact that there has been little to no change in the gender pay gap over 10 years?  How does the government plan to implement SDG Goal 5 – achieving gender equality and empower all women and girls?  What targets has the government set to eliminate the gender pay gap in the public sector? How are these targets monitored?  What specific measures does the government have in place to reduce the gender pay gap particularly for Māori, Pacific, and disabled women?  Can the government update the committee on the work of the Joint Working Party on equal pay principles and any other steps it is taking to achieve pay equity across the labour market?
