Wage Gaps: Genders Unequal Pay

Women’s Rights and Suffrage Women were not treated equal to men. When women started to work in the factories, during the Industrial Revolution, they began to think that if they are working with men then they should get the same rights as men. Women were working hard but were treated unfairly, they got less money than men, even though they worked harder in the factories as well as they still ran their households. They decided to start the Women’s Suffrage Act. Women were treated like property and got little to no respect.Women should be treated equal to men.

In his opinion, simply claim that women are paid less due to discrimination is “fundamentally misleading” and “economically illogical.” There are more factors that affects this issue. In addition to the physical differences between men and women, different hours of work, importance degree of children, and occupational selections also influence different earnings. First of all, hours of work in some ways determine a person’s

They can do the same jobs as their male counterparts and their value in the work field still exists as inferior. Although companies will try to justify the pay difference, very often, they do not have valid reasoning why the males receive higher pay. Although these women encounter inequalities at all levels, it’s not simply an inequality, but a glass ceiling effect as a result of the distribution of women at the top being smaller and the inequality increases as the women go up the rung of the job market

The disparity has been justified that women make less money than men are based on what seem to be logical reasons but According to a 2010 study done by the U.S. Census Bureau, the average of all working women earn 78% of what men makes and 64% for black women. While is is useful to look at the incomes of men and women as a whole, it still doesn’t account for things such as educational level, work experience, hours worked, and type of job. However, even when we control for these factors, the gender pay gap still exists. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released a 2014 report examining the median weekly earnings of full time wage and salary workers that took gender and job position into account. When type of job and job position are control for these factors, the gender wage gap disparity still exists in every field.

Pay Gap: a bitter difficulty Women and men should receive the same salary for doing the same job. That is the idealistic concept that fits very well in an invented society. However, gender pay gap shows one of the worst discrimination problems nowadays. After several investigations, many factors show that women receive an inferior amount of money in comparison with men, simply due to the gender difference. Thus, the debate is on the table.

Gender inequality at the workplace can be easily noticed through examples of events that happen when it comes to employability or even at work time. When it comes to employability a really common situation that happens, is when the employer decides to hire a person because of their sex. This happens when a job needs more of a physical ability and employers tend to choose a man instead of a woman, or when a job is more needs a more caring and organizing concept, then the employer chooses to hire a woman because women seem to have these skills better than a man, because of their

So overall I feel an equality feminism approach would be the best way to go at trying to put an end to sexism. Of course it would not be easy to tackle any problem as big as sexism, but this is a step that must be take. It will have to show everyone of the world that just because one is a different gender it does not make them inferior to that of the other sex. This is something that a differential feminism approach would not fix, because then it would still lead people to believe men and women are not equal. So that is why I believe the best approach to end sexism is by taking an equality feminism

A lot of women earned less money for the same type of work that they did like the men in today’s society, and this is not really fair to them at all. They deserve to get the same salary as men because they are both doing the same type of job (Barrett, 2015). It is believed that women and men should both get the same amount of pay if they are doing the same kind of job as this is only fair and just if one should be unbiased. Not because a woman is ‘a woman’ means that she deserves to be paid less at her job while she is even working at the same pace or even harder than most men. This is one of the major reasons why feminism is still relevant in today’s era, to eradicate or help alleviate these

It was not easy for women worked in factories, or serving other male occupation, still often gets discrimination. For example, the calculations on wage they got, in which this is debatable between the people at that time. Some paid by the average of 53% of the men's pay the replaced with. Discrimination that happened across at workplace is that the women get fewer shillings compared to men's, even though they were being favored to overnight fire watchers or others men's hard work. They were gotten lower compensation instead of men, even though they were at high risk of bombings (striking-women,

Resulting, unsatisfactory in the home and on the work place. Not all the women were married as how the functionalist saw it to be, but, they were also fighting for survival. (Elaine Leeder, 2004) emphasized, “Men became wage earners, dependent on their bourgeois bosses and women become dependent on their husbands and fathers. Poor women, if they had no husbands, and children without father were the most marginal laborers and worked in the most exploitative condition.” As result of such condition emerge conflict between classes that would lead to a social revolution. It was the springtime of the people revolution, the basic needs of the family could not be provided due to a high rate of unemployment and bad working condition including poor health system.
