      abstract = {Although much work has been done analysing the possible  causes of the New ZealandAustralian income gap, to date  there has been little analysis of the extent to which this  gap differs by gender and age. Using New Zealand and  Australian employment and census data we examine these  differences and find that (1) over the last 25 years the  incomes of New Zealand women have declined less rapidly  than those of New Zealand men, relative to Australian  incomes; (2) this poor relative performance of New Zealand  males was felt most by those in middle age; and (3) the  stronger relative income growth of New Zealand females  appears to be largely driven by increased public sector  wage growth, and as such, its long term sustainability is  questionable.},
