Despite the fact that the federal government and most states have adopted laws—with varying protections—providing employees with statutory means to challenge wage disparities based on sex, the wage gap persists. The rationale behind the nation’s newest pay equity laws in California, Massachusetts, and New York is certainly grounded in social justice and equity concerns that women, in many cases, earn less than men for performing the same work. However, these three laws were driven in large…

Moreover, it is important to discuss the motherhood penalty that comes into play with the gender pay gap. Women’s earnings typically drop by the time they turn 30. By then, this effects their lifetime earnings and retirement security. Therefore, the pay gap not only hurts women’s lives, but its hurts their families and the economy as well. The less money a mother can bring home, the less money she has to feed and take care of her family. Ridgeway explains how working mothers suffer penalty in…

Gender and Unequal Pay Regardless of a woman’s education, experience, or length of time on the job, a glass ceiling exists, preventing her from receiving equal pay for equal work. During the current United States presidential race, equal pay for equal work has reemerged as a hot topic, which Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party are using to attract voters, male and female alike. Even though women have made great strides in the workplace, pay inequality persists in today’s society. If…

More so, a women’s education must add professionalism to their resume instead, to create more opportunities. The Paycheck…

Western commentary appearing in circulation between 1953 and 1965 was cautiously declinist, predicting a loss of living standards gained during the initial land reform years. This opinion was largely based upon the notion that Mao’s FFYP was to be firmly rooted in the Soviet model of FFYP, the latter having caused a substantial decline in peasant living standards and conditions. In these terms, the ambitious FFYP, geared towards the rapid industrialisation of heavy and light industry, was…

Mao Zedong subscribed to the “Great Man” theory of history, a school that downplays the trends and forces that shape the world over time in favor of single actors that forcefully bring about punctuated changes. Counter to the rhetoric of the CCP, which touted collectivist uplift through cooperation, Mao’s scholarship led him to appraise the efforts of emperors and tyrants not by their atrocities, but in spite of them, choosing instead to praise their overarching designs to build strong empires.…
