Although there has been a narrowing of the gender pay gap in recent decades, there is still evidence of gender pay discrimination and the motherhood wage penalty. This paper focuses on the gender pay gap in the manufacturing industry of South Africa by using regression analysis and ANOVA methods on data related to motherhood, gender and CTC (Cost-To-Company). After analyzing the data it was found that gender does have a significant impact on income (CTC) in the manufacturing industry of South Africa, while motherhood does not have a significant impact on income (CTC) in the manufacturing industry of South Africa. This provides evidence that the current efforts of government to narrow the gender pay gap in industry are not working and more stringent efforts must be made.enPay equity -- South Africa.
