Male and Female Pay Differentials Reviews

Men and women should indeed be paid the same. But only if they are undertaking identical work and achieving the same results. Let me use the introduction, this year, of handing out equal prize money to Wimbledon winners (and losers) in spite of sex, as an example of an incorrect application of this basic principle (equal pay for equal ...

Males and Females do the same jobs yet in some jobs men get more money. Why is this? It is the society I think. Men were the original bread winners and this has remained, women are late entrants to the work place therefore have to play catch up. Legally there should never be this discrimination. What is quite ...

Why does the pay gap occur? It is unfortunate that this is still a hot issue. However it remains obvious why companies are unwilling to part with higher salaries for women than men. When firms employ women they do so with the consideration that a maternity leave is likely to be demanded and ostensibly they may well lose the employee ...

Ok, now this is definetely another touchy subject that I expect most women have a clear view on, while most men probably don't even think about it. I am planning to look at this issue by asking and answering questions on the subject so that I try to have some sort of structure to this debate. Do women still get paid less than ...

This was on the news the other day and it was interesting because often when such items are covered there is usually a woman who has made it to the top of her field bought onto the show to comment and this lady was no different to the others in that she had very little negative to say. She had risen to the top of BP which is an industry that is ...

Equal pay. We should be proud. This year is the 35th anniversary of the Equal Pay Act. We’ve had 35 years to put this law into practice. Basically the law requires equal treatment of men and women in the same employment. So why did ACAS (the body who advise employers and help prevent and settle disputes) produce an article this ...

FEMINISM. Hotly debated, very complex, and very possibly nearing extinction. Is there a place for feminism in its many forms in the 21st century? I'm going to take a chance (and possibly some bashing from my chauvinist male friend) and say 'yes'. A lot of people out there argue that feminism no longer has a place in society, what with ...

Sorry, I lured you here under false pretences, I'm afraid there isn't going to be any man bashing, I'm far too nice for that kind of thing. I'll start of by saying that men and women have a legal and moral right to receive equal pay, equal treatment and equal opportunities within the workplace. But lets have a ...

All the married women I know at work that look like women would rather stay at home and look after the kids ate their leisure. The youngsters are for more energetic with the new university degrees and aspirations and love the buzz. But for most girls nearing forty, sixty hours a week with kids at home means a crap relationship or a kip on the ...

Why does this opinion keep on need updating. Fine then i will update my opinion. Again i'm male and i don't care who gets payed more, whether it's male or female. I believe in work related pay, if you work hard and your good at your job should be paid quite highly but if your rubbish at your job you should get paid less, it ...

The news that female graduates under 24 get 18% less than their male counterparts for the same graduate positions is real teaser. Obviously the position isn?t advertised as guys earn more than girls for this job in bold black type. Its more likely that the companies offer a male and female draught each year with the same job offered under a ...

I have read several opinions on this subject that have actually alarmed me, quite literally, and spurred me on to write about a subject that I deal with on a regular basis in my work as a trade unionist. The Equal Pay Act (EPA) came into force in 1970 - over thirty years ago. It states: ‘there should be equal pay between women and ...

I feel as though I am in utopia whenever I cast my eyes upon the menu of controversial topics that Speakers Corner spews fourth. I feel strongly about most things (really? gosh, never would have guessed Angus!) and hopefully put my point of view over in a balanced and mature stance, rather than a rant. I say hopefully, as no ...

Once upon a time Dominant Ideology was rife, Women were in the kitchen and looking after the baby, men were at work bringing home the bacon. The worlds past and the media world have helped develop these impressions. And when the ammount of working Women doing work that was previously seen as mans work the wrold began to change and slowly but surly ...

Girls are now outshining boys at GCSE and A Level, as well as outnumbering the number of boys on degree courses. Men try to explain this away because of course work, saying courses consist of modules now, and girls are "better" at consistently working hard, wheras boys prefer to cram. Well I did my A Levels, completely exam based at the ...

Are you serious? The only people really complaining about the pay gap are the inferior women who dont have the ability to get ahead the rest of us, by earning it. Now of course there are other ways women can get ahead and believe me those women typically make more than their male counterparts. The biggest easiest target here are the ...

Now I am sure you think I am being a smartass by the title but here me out. It is true that Men do in general make more money but lets face it they typically deserve it and are a better investment. Men are not going to decide to be a stay at home mother, or become a house wife. Alot of resources are spent training women who end up never ...

In my opinion britain is now becoming so politically correct that it is starting to work in reverse. e.g in the workplace it is far more likely for a white middle aged man to be fired over a young black female, the reason for this is that the company can not be told they are racist, ageist or sexist for the middle aged white man but can be sued ...

I think we live in a world where people still have the same views that they had years ago, that men were better than women. It has taken us years of fighting to get equal rights, and equal pay should not mean any different. Men should not get paid more, if two people are doing the same job with the same qualifications, how can you justify being ...
