| QUOTE (Rath! @ Nov 24 2007, 03:27 PM) | hi look at the income gap between women and men and try again
women on average make less money than men do, on the same job with the same credentials.
the fact that more men get arrested for rape, domestic abuse and such can be attributed to the fact that on average, more men commit these crimes than women do
makes sense, doesn't it? |
It's true that women do make less than men in some cases, but it isn't as bad as it sounds, my friend.
Here are some statistics that may affect why women get less.
| QUOTE ( Why Men Earn More: The Startling Truth Behind the Pay Gap--and What Women Can Do About It. by Warren Farrell @ Ph.D.) | Women are eight times more likely than men to spend four or more years away from the work world.
Women are nearly nine times more likely than men to leave work for six months or more for family reasons. Upon returning, an income loss of about 33 percent is typical.
|
Theres is also the fact that there are many times women make more than men.
| QUOTE ( Why Men Earn More: The Startling Truth Behind the Pay Gap--and What Women Can Do About It. by Warren Farrell @ Ph.D.) | There are 90 fields that pay women more than men.
There are 39 fields in which women earn more than 5 percent more than men.
Female sales engineers earn 143 percent of male sales engineers.
Female part-time workers earn $1.10 for every dollar a male part-time worker makes. |
It's really women themselves that decide if they want to be in the future
| QUOTE | | According to the Labor Department, women dentists (who make up just 20 percent of the field), airline pilots and navigators (less than 4 percent of the field) may make lifetime earnings that are 150 percent higher than women in traditional careers. |
meaning women are more likely going to study for a risky job like a dentist, meaning it pays more if you risk more, same for women and men. But it really comes down to women are less likely to make sacrifices at home or in their personal lives to get a higher paying job.
Also the income that women make is also affected on what choices the women make themselves even without realizing it's not a high income job in the first place.
But what women can do to increase their job income is:
| QUOTE (Why Men Earn More: The Startling Truth Behind the Pay Gap--and What Women Can Do About It. by Warren Farrell @ Ph.D.) | Choose a field with a high emotional and financial risk (doctors, lawyers, etc.).
Choose a field that's rooted in the hard sciences, not the social sciences (computer scientists earn more than teachers, for instance).
Be willing to travel and relocate if necessary.
Put in more hours.
