💡 What is the Gender Pay Gap?

The gender pay gap refers to the average difference in earnings between women and men. Even today, in many countries, women are paid significantly less than men for doing the same work or work of equal value. This gap exists across almost all industries and education levels.

🔍 What Causes the Gender Pay Gap?

• Occupational Segregation: Women are overrepresented in lower-paying roles and underrepresented in leadership positions.
• Lack of Transparency: Many companies don’t disclose salaries, allowing unfair pay practices to continue.
• Career Breaks: Women often take breaks for caregiving, leading to slower career progression.
• Bias and Discrimination: Gender stereotypes and unconscious bias impact hiring, promotions, and evaluations.

📉 Impact of the Gender Pay Gap

• Reduced Lifetime Earnings: A lower salary over time means fewer savings, less investment, and less retirement security.
• Economic Dependence: Women may remain financially dependent on partners or family.
• Lower Self-worth & Motivation: Being underpaid can lead to burnout and reduced confidence.
• Wider Economic Impact: A country’s economy suffers when half of the population isn’t paid fairly for their work.

🛠️ How Can We Solve This?

• Enforce Pay Transparency Laws and hold companies accountable.
• Promote Women in Leadership through mentorship and skills training.
• Educate Women on Salary Negotiation and financial literacy.
• Support Re-entry Programs for women returning to the workforce.
