If you believe there are inequality then report it
That isn't how the gender pay gap works. When looking at overall trends and qualifications and experience, women due to sexism in society and the workplace, face many more hurdles than men in achieving decent pay rates and well paid positions. A female with the same qualifications and experience as a male, will generally only earn 70-80% of what the male earns over a career.
A company wouldn't just pay a female who does the same work as a male less, but a lesser dudebro "alpha" male employee generally will have a much easier way of working up than your average woman, companies at higher levels are generally always boyclubs and women who do get in generally have to internalize that misogyny or they get kicked out (which is why you get so many corporate women saying poo like "boys will be boys!", "just learn to play by their rules!"). I've been in organizations were women were hired simply based on the fact the male managerial staff wanted to have something to manipulate and bugger. I've seen in huge organizations at the executive level literal coke and hooker parties (idiots don't know Wall Street was satire and try to copy it), how many females will be happy with that?
There is also the issue that female dominated fields, even specialty skilled fields, generally pay less than male fields, even if that male field is far less specialized or skilled.
To put it at the most simplest analogy: if a company is a 30 story building and hierarchy is based on floors, generally a woman will never be able to get pass floor 20 no matter if she's a super genius and the entire company relies on her.
That's because she doesn't work the same hours etc over a career, and only wants the sweet ride.
There is NO gender wage gap - only differences in earnings caused by many factors.
Are you suggesting that since women work average 32 hours to men's 41 (2011 Census), women should be paid at a higher rate? They already are in many cases due to affirmative action that has slotted them into the soft jobs with the good salaries and perks.
Wake up and get with the program - one in twelve Australians is out of work - and women continue to whine about a 'wage gap' that accurately reflects the average hours worked?
Do the figures - if everyone is on $10 an hour (no 'wage gap') - women EARN $320 a week for hours worked - men earn $410... what is the percentage difference?
Easy.. just ask Longy..... I'll do it for you:-
32/41 x 100 = 78.05%.. what is the alleged 'wage gap'? "women only get 78%$ of men's wages"..... exactly right! They EARN only 78% of men's wages by working.....
Well - Bug Army!!
Now can we all drop this non-issue and move on to the real issues and stop feeding whining women for a change? Enough people have suffered as a result of this never-ending nonsense and insanity - are we to forever feed women more and more to the detriment of men in our society - let's move forward on reality for a change.
Most PEOPLE never get past floor one.. get with the program here... there is zero support for any of this ranting about 'poor women'.
