"Older women workers – who comprise 47% of the labor force ages 55 and older – are plagued by a gender wage gap that is even larger than the one their younger counterparts experience. Among workers ages 50 or older, women working full-time and year-round are paid about 75 cents for each dollar their male counterparts make." Read more: https://bit.ly/3zSirl2

Summary and link of our new paper on the related dynamics of the gender and age pay gaps👇
Part of the closure in the gender pay gap was driven by older workers crowding out younger men from top jobs. Now that effect is gone, the gender gap is not expected to close, from Jaime Arellano-Bover, Nicola Bianchi, Salvatore Lattanzio, and Matteo Paradisi https://lnkd.in/eErNAChH

Over the past two decades, progress in closing the gender wage gap has been slow. On average, women still make 77 cents for every dollar earned by a man, and the gap is far more pervasive for women of color. Research from The Ascend Fund tells us that electing women into office combats the gender wage gap. Elected women introduce and pass more bills and prioritize legislation that benefits women, children, and families. They champion legislation that reduces inequity, such as promoting salary transparency, banning salary history inquiries, and requiring employers to report on salary bands by race and gender. On #EqualPayDay, show your support for closing the gender gap by supporting women running for office! Learn more: https://bit.ly/3L5eTNZ #WomensHistoryMonth

Today is #EqualPayDay! March 12 marks how far into 2024 women have to work—on top of their labor from 2023—simply to match what men were paid in 2023. Women were paid 21.8% less on average than men last year. What causes the gender wage gap? A combination of occupational segregation, devaluation of women’s work, societal norms, and discrimination. Black and Hispanic women experience the largest wage gaps due to compounded discrimination based on both gender and race/ethnicity. Little progress has been made in the past thirty years to narrow the gender wage gap. The rate has remained mostly flat since 1994. There is no silver bullet to solving pay equity, but policies like requiring employers to post pay bands and prohibiting employers from asking about pay history can help close the gap. Raising the federal minimum wage and protecting and strengthening workers’ rights to bargain collectively for better wages and benefits would also help address this inequity.

1moThe way the “wage gap” is calculated is highly flawed. If a women requests part time, flexitime etc, even if she out earns her male counterparts in salary, it will still show up as a negative wage gap.
