The IEA's Professor Len Shackleton, Editorial and Research Fellow was on the show Daily Sceptic to discuss the recent controversial ruling against clothing retailer Next. The tribunal decision, which could cost Next up to £30 million in back pay, raises important questions about equal pay legislation and its implications for businesses and workers alike.

Professor Shackleton offers his expert analysis on the complexities of the case, explaining the concept of "equal pay for work of equal value" and how it relates to broader issues surrounding gender pay gaps. He challenges common misconceptions about wage disparities and provides insights into the unintended consequences of such rulings, including potential impacts on employment and business structures.

The conversation then expands to examine the future of pay gap reporting, including proposed extensions to cover ethnic pay disparities. Professor Shackleton warns against oversimplifying complex wage differentials and discusses the potential social divisions that could arise from misinterpreting these statistics. This episode of Skeptic provides viewers with a critical examination of equal pay legislation, encouraging a deeper understanding of its economic and social implications.
