The gender pay gap — alive and well, unfortunately
Rounding it up
Women are more educated and employed than ever, yet the pay gap between men and women, persists.
While the gender pay gap affects all women, it impacts women of colour hardest.
Many societal and economic factors contribute to the gender pay gap, like industrial distribution and unconscious bias.
To bridge the gender pay gap, we as a society must address racial and gender discrimination, eliminate double standards at home and at work, and be more transparent with pay.
