Wage Gap
As many people already know, America has many problems that have yet to be fully handled. One of the major problems we currently face is the wage gap discrepancy, which is mainly shown between male and females. Research has proven that “women are averagely earning between 76 cents to 79 cents for every dollar men earn” (Sahadi). When there is a wage gap within the nation, it begins to divide every party involved, which in turn creates many more issues. In such a highly modernized society, many believe that it’s absolutely absurd that we’re still facing this problem, and have been since the founding of this country. Since wage gap is such a controversial subject, there are however, many key points that need to be brought up to truly …show more content…
Many researchers over the years have proven that the wage gap actually exists, and it’s not just as simple as job choices, but rather many companies giving women lesser pay, even when they have the same qualifications. From another point, many people say that because of all the inconveniences a women brings to an employer, is the reason why there aren’t as many in the workplace. That is also partnered with their pay being lower than their male counterparts. From an unbiased point of view, it seems rather obvious that a company would rather have an employee that is guaranteed to not legally receive time for maternity leave. No company wants to have to have more expenses, whether it be in training for a new employee to take the place of the women on maternity leave, or paying the women who are on leave. But, it would actually cost a company more money to hire and train another person, only to get rid of the women on leave. Punishing women for becoming mothers is not ethical, and they deserve proper treatment.
As monstrous of a task it is, by closing the wage gap, we can in turn help fix gender diversity in the workplace, provide extra financial security after retirement, and boost the economy. The world would prosper in the case that the wage gap is completely closed. Women around the world wouldn’t have to worry about not being treated unethically in the work place, and could finally feel that employers understand that women need time off to take care of a newly born baby. Not only along with that, but the global economy would soar, which would improve relations world-wide, and create a better environment all
