If women really do get paid less than men for same hours and productivity, why aren’t economists not hiring just women to halve their overheads?
Seems obvious. 💰

@easterniowegin Nonsense. The workers are the ones who are usually sacrificing their sleep, mental health, family affairs, and healt/safety/lives to meet production.
Who runs the machines of spinning cogs? Who is up there on the roof? Who is spraying the toxic chemicals? Who is staying late and working 60 hours a week to meet production and barely scraping by with the pay? Who's standing next the 9,000lbs. Swinging on a crane? Who's crawling down in a giant mud hole? Who's reaching into the epectric panel?
Workers are insulated from the "risks"....🤣
It isn't the owner/investor were his ornamental hardhat and clean boots next to his shiney new car while pointing fingers.

@easterniowegin My feelings??? Lol okie dokie.
Working labor involves no risk. The only risks that matter is the all mighty capitalist dollar. Buisiness is far more important than people. Economics is a science and natural force. It is hy no means some invented game. Capitalism is just a natural state.🤣🤣🤣
Oh those nobel and downtrodden capitalist iwner class members. They jusy give and provide so much and get nothing but hate.
Where oh where would we be without them?

in the case of the UK there's a little law known as The sex discrimination act 1975. that makes discrimination against women in favour of men in the world of employment illegal.
In the USA it's known as The equality act.

So you cannot reward higher performers? Or pay someone with more experience more?

I’ll put it this way…
If you could pay women less, why don’t businesses employ only women and save tonne$?

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout agreed.
As a whole, I don't believe the gap exists, systematically. I do believe that performance should impact salaries though.

A significant part of the issue is women not understanding how to negotiate for more money.

It's not true. Women tend to work less hours than men. Amongst other reasons.

That's a rational question but it is missing context

@TheLustyLord well, Not too doubtful...women weren't even "allowed" to work in certain positions like lawyers, doctors. When they were more than capable. They lost many many dollars then, but didn't care because it was a "woman". 😑

@Coralmist And in other possessions women just aren’t interested.
You never see women complaining that they are under represented in mining, construction, heavy manufacturing and other roles they consider beneath them.
