10- Pay inequality
Calculated Controlled Gender Pay Gap reveals Women earn ​98 c for every $1 earned by men in the same job and same qualifications. It is a very small difference due to the opportunity gap, as women may attend to family and children which gives men more opportunity to advance. The Calculated Uncontrolled Gender Pay Gap reveals women earn 79c for every $1 earned by men which is not accurate as it compares money made by all men to money made by all women in general regardless of positions, education, or qualifications. In general, fewer women seek higher positions due to social and maternity needs. Hence more men work, and more men have higher positions and make more money. But there is no gender gap between men and women if they both provide the same qualifications, time, and effort in a job.
