According to the government statistics agency, the gender pay gap, measuring gross hourly wages of men and women, stood at 22% in 2014, unchanged over the previous five years. That is down 1% from the pay gap for the years 2006 to 2009.
@57XN3G46mos
If a man and woman both have same education and experience, then yes.
@92JXK3J7mos
We should not force equality. Just ensure that man and woman are paid equally for equal qualifications. If one is more qualified and does the work better, he/she should get paid more than an underqualified lazy person, and the gender pay gap is a myth created by feminists, just like many other myths, to get sympathy.
@7ZHRR4Z7mos
Yes, but only at a base salary with room for increase based on education, experience, and tenure.
@924MYCK7mos
Yes, unless they can't perform the job as adequately.
@93F4MVT8mos
Wages for equally qualified individuals doing the same job should be equal, regardless of gender, but experience, tenure, etc. should also be considered, which may warrant varying salary
Deleted8mos
Yes, and non-binary individuals should be paid the same salary as well
Deleted8mos
Yes, but pay should be based on results.
@9375C2N8mos
yes, they should pay men and women the same hourly wage, but salary can be different due to factors such as hours worked
@36MRMN58mos
Yes, if they are qualified for the position.
@92ZYZRW8mos
People should be payed to their capabilities. If a man or women does a job worse pay them less or fire them.
@9334YP38mos
No, unless pregnancy leave is unpaid and employers may stipulate that becoming pregnant constitutes breach-of-contract, women should be paid less because they are less reliable employees.
Deleted9mos
Yes, and non-binary individuals should be payed the same salary as well
Deleted9mos
Yes, and non-binary individuals should also be payed the same salary as well
@92YX7Z99mos
If the two individuals have the same experience, and skill, provide the same purpose and are equally sufficient, then yes. But many variables play into the wage gap that go much further than simple sexism.
@92XHZPP9mos
no, it should be performance-based pay
@92W2BVG9mos
It shouldn't be based on gender it should be based on the type of work you're doing.
@92QJ5QN9mos
I think it matters on how much work one person is doing so if the women does more work then the man then the women should get more money for the same job
@92MKFDT9mos
I think it depends on the jobs because sometimes, male could be more demanded or female could be more demanded depends on the jobs.
@92NQ4PZ9mos
Yes, but only the base salary should be required to be the same. Raises, and pay bumps must also be requested by the employee with a written document listing work quality.
@92L2XR29mos
No, put 'em in the kitchen
@92JXK3J9mos
Only if the woman is equally as qualified as the man. Employers should not be required to pay an under qualified woman the same as a qualified man, and vice versa.
Deleted9mos
Yes, and non-binary individuals should be paid the same as well
@5BMM5HX9mos
Yes, assuming they have similar experience and education.
Deleted9mos
No, except for the minimum wage, the government should not get involved in the salaries of private companies.
@8ZSR5NL9mos
Yes, they should earn the same amount of salary under the same conditions in the same position, unless they can't perform the job as adequately.
@927693910mos
Yes in theory, but there are too many other variables such as education, experience, and tenure that determine a fair salary.
@9238GCD10mos
Yes, assuming all past experience, and ability levels are the same.
@heatherdvdprince…11mos
No, there are too many other variables such as education, experience, tenure, and negotiation skills that determine a fair salary, and the government should never determine what a private business should pay employees, except for minimum wage
@8XVVHDP11mos
Yes, but under the premise that other variables such as education, experience, and tenure are factored in the decision of salary
@ThomasJj8812mos
It depends on how much they work and how they work.
@8HF7ZMS12mos
yes but they must have the same amount of education
@8YQ29HF12mos
If they do as good of a job.
@8YF4BR71yr
Yes, as long as they perform the same
Deleted1yr
Yes, if they work the same amount of hours and perform their job adequately, under the same conditions in the same position.
@8Y2SW4M1yr
It should depend on the position of the person.
@8Y2P7SY1yr
If both men and women are doing the job well and it is the same job then they should
Deleted1yr
Yes, women should have the opportunity to earn the same salary as men, if they work the same amount of hours and perform their job adequately, under the same conditions in each position, but I think pay should be merit-based.
Deleted1yr
Yes, women should have the opportunity to earn the same salary as men, if they work harder and do the same amount of working hours, under the same conditions in the same position, and are just as competent unless they can't perform the job as adequately.
Deleted1yr

Deleted1yr
Yes, they should earn the same salary, if they work harder and do the same amount of work/hours, under the same conditions in the same position, and are just as competent unless they can't perform the job as adequately.
Deleted1yr
Yes, they should, but only if they work the same amount of hours, under the same conditions in the same position and are just as competent and do the same amount of work.
@8XQCD4Q1yr
Yes, but in almost all cases they already do.
@8XHNZZH1yr
Honestly im not 100% sure
@8XGHN4X1yr
I don't have an opinion on this subject
@8VC2Q881yr
Salary should be decided on productivity
@8XB4HMH1yr
I feel it should be based on experience and how good they are ?
@8X3KQBN1yr
Yes, pay should be determined only by the amount and quality of work done, race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. should not affect the amount of pay given.
@8WVSFDZ1yr
Yes, but, although the gender pay gap is real, the adjusted pay gap for work/revenue at the office is only about 5% according to numbers from 2010.
