Gender discrimination is also always going to be an issue however women work around it.

Women who are able to work in a unionized profession earn 82% of what men make. This means there is less of a wage gap because women in professions without a union only make 72% of what men do. Hopefully, we can close this wage gap for every job.

The Globe and Mail says that there has been minimal progress in bridging this gap in the past few decades and goes on to highlight how Canada’s gender pay inequality is below average according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, and also places 35th on World Economic Forum’s global gender gap ranking.

If they work full-time for 47 years, the lost wages can add up to $700 000 for high school graduates, $1.2 million for college graduates, and $2 million for professional school grads.

While this issue is being addressed, in Australia, the average wage gap between men and women is 15.3%, therefore on average women make $250.20 less than men per week. While these statistics are not specific to Canada, they're very similar and express the same fact that men more commonly make more than women.

Not to make women shy away from having a professional occupation, but women who were even higher up in corporations, earned even less then a male in that position would at 72.3%.

However at the moment women earn less than men, they are less likely to advance in their careers as men are, and  they gain less retirement savings. As for men's inequality situations, they have less access to family-friendly policies such as parental leave or flexible working arrangements than women.

There is still a discrepancy between the wages that men and women make. According to an Australian government website, there is a pay gap of about 15.3% more for men. On average women men make $251.20 more per week than women. Much of this pay gap is influenced by discrimination, the industries that men and women are more prominent in, and lack of workplace flexibility to accomadate for responsibilities. Many countries, including Australia, are working towards fixing this issue and maing the gender wage gap no longer an issue. https://www.wgea.gov.au/sites/default/files/gender-pay-gap-statistics.pdf]]> 2017-12-03 16:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/melissa_zaviskitomusiak/ekvgfc54fleq/wish/212619252 costellodancelover https://padlet.com/melissa_zaviskitomusiak/ekvgfc54fleq/wish/212625726 Gender equality has been a major issue throughout the workplace. To this day men and women are still not making the same wages. Even during economic downturns, the likelihood of being employed increases the higher the level of educational attainment. In 2009, 74.7% of women with a university degree, 59.1% of those with some postsecondary training and 56.2% of high school graduates were employed. In contrast, 35.0% of women who had attended, but had not completed, high school and just 13.7% of those who had not gone beyond grade 8 were employed that year.

According to Sarah Fielding from Bustle.com "Women Earn 79 Cents To A Man's Dollar" which is shocking to think about on a broad scale, considering the extreme gap in pay.

Every country in the OECD has a gender pay gap in favour of men. On average, women in the OECD earn 15.1% less than men and the median gender pay gap across OECD countries ranges from 36.7% in Korea, to 3.3 % in Belgium.1  https://www.wgea.gov.au/sites/default/files/International-gender-reporting.pdf ]]> 2017-12-03 23:07:53 UTC https://padlet.com/melissa_zaviskitomusiak/ekvgfc54fleq/wish/212669685 https://padlet.com/melissa_zaviskitomusiak/ekvgfc54fleq/wish/212685118 In the 1950s, women were more involved in the labour market as gender roles started evolving. Electrical appliances (dishwasher, washer & dryer, etc.) reduced time needed to perform chores and opportunities in the workplace increased. From 1953 to 1990, the rate for which women participated in the work force grew, rising from about 24% in 1953 to 76% in 1990.

One inequality that is still not resolved is the inequality between the wages for men and women. In a census conducted, it was observed that for every dollar a man makes a women only makes 77.5 cents. However, women of minority's make even less. For every dollar a white man makes, an African- American women makes 64 cents and a Hispanic women makes 52 cents.

For instance, back in the 1900's, women only received 72.7% of what men earned for the same occupation and position. Obviously this was very sexist considering that both men and women were doing the same amount of work. Fortunately, recently women have been receiving the same amount of wage which is very just and proves the gender equality in today's workplaces.
