Reasons for the gender wage gap are multi-faceted. IWPR’s research shows that, irrespective of the level of qualification, jobs predominantly done by women pay less on average than jobs predominantly done by men.
If Women are doing a job primarily done by men and they are doing as good as a job as women then they should be paid the same.
In 2015, female full-time, year-round workers made only 80 cents for every dollar earned by men, a gender wage gap of 20 percent.
If women are receiving the same education or a better education why should they be paid less? If a man and a women both hold the same position but the pay gap is at 20% a man working a job making $100000 would be compared to a women making $80000.
Hispanic women will have to wait until 2248 and Black women will wait until 2124 for equal pay.
Even tho white women are suffering from the pay gap those of color are having it even worse.
