A report by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said the gap between hourly earnings of the two sexes becomes steadily wider after women become mothers.
Over the 12 years after returning to work, women's hourly pay rate falls 33% behind men's.
Frances O’Grady, general secretary of the TUC, which is affiliated with the RCM, said: "It is scandalous that millions of women still suffer a motherhood pay penalty.
"Many are forced to leave better-paid jobs due to the pressure of caring responsibilities and the lack of flexible working.
"Without more well-paid, part-time jobs and affordable childcare, the gender pay gap will take decades to close.
"We need to see a step change in government policy and employer attitudes if we are to fix this problem."
On average, women earn 18% less per hour than men, according to the IFS research.
