Not much has changed when it comes to equality in the workplace.

The Human Rights Commission has developed an interactive web-based tool that looks at several factors across employment equality, including pay, employment, leadership, and discrimination.

It found that while men are still top-of-the-table in the workplace, and ethnic minorities and women rate much lower in these areas.

Equal employment opportunities commissioner Jackie Blue said overall there has been an improvement in employment, but when you dive into the figures it is a different story.

"What I am concerned about is the fact that young women, Māori and Pacific women, really aren't doing very well as far as employment goes."

According to the Human Rights Commission, one in four Māori women and one in three Pacific women under the age of 25 is unemployed.

Across all ethnicities and in each age group, female unemployment is consistently lower than male unemployment.

74.1 per cent of men are currently in the labour force, compared with only 63.4 per cent of women.

Once in the workforce, women can expect to earn less per hour than their male counterparts.

Whereas men earn $23 on average, the median dollar value pay rater per hour for women is $20.74.

Commenting on the report, National Council of Women president Rae Duff said: "We want women to have an equal representation in society and that's what they don't have a the moment."
