Inequality affects the migrant labor market as well. The migrant pay gap has widened in certain high-income countries over the last five years. Furthermore, according to a report by the Centre for Ageing Better, older women are more likely than older men to live in poverty, be socially isolated, live in poor housing, become ill, and die younger. It is the result of a lifetime of unequal pay and working conditions only for women.
