*Among 22- to 29-year olds, women earn an average of 1.1 per cent more than men per hour.

And for 30- to 39-year olds, women earn 0.2 per cent more.*

And?

Best ignored Grimble, is a troll.

Bit late for April Fool

How am I a troll? Isn't this great news for women? Isn't the wage gap one of the biggest feminist issues? WTAF ?

it's from november 2014. there were many threads discussing it at that time

Isn't the wage gap one of the biggest feminist issues?

Worse than rape culture? Poor childcare provision? DV?

And if you actually read more than the strapline, you'll see that it's hardly sorted.

Happy now?

You cannot tackle all gender issues in one thread. This is a thread about the wage gap. There isn't one. If anything women are gaining more and more every year, have already surpassed men and will keep doing so the same way as they are doing with educational achievement (am all time record of 60% women enrolled in uni's last year). The current overall gap is caused by old male baby boomers who will be retired in next decade and nothing can be done about that, unless feminists can invent a time machine and nip all those straight, white, able-bodied, middle class, male boomers in the bud.

the report is from november 2014. there were many threads discussing it at the time. your previous posts have indicated that you are not here in good faith, and don't want to reasonably discuss feminist issues.

There is still a per hour wage gap in all age ranges. That is because many women have to work part time and employers take advantage of that by giving poor pay and conditions to part time workers.

There are plenty of reports into the wage gap and the causes of it, including ones written by the government.

You said that the wage gap is one of the biggest feminist issues. I argued that for me, it isn't really. And gave you examples of what is.

You don't like that.

SHOCK!

After your responses to threads on this part of the forum and elsewhere, I don't believe you're posting in good faith. If I did, I might be inclined to engage with you, but as you aren't, I don't feel the need to.

You obviously didn't read either the article or the several posts about it at the time it was published... because you're not here in good faith.

This is a thread about the wage gap. There isn't one.

From the article you posted yourself:

Overall the gender gap has fallen to 9.4 per cent, compared with 10 per cent in 2013.

Fucking illiterate idiot.

0.2 - 1.1 % is hardly much is it. Not exactly "earn more" but "earn the same".

It's still under 40s though isn't it? Poverty in old age is still more a female thing.

So I'd put your "it's gone too far the other way!!" banners back in the cupboard for another year, business. .

..and in the meantime pop over to the other thread you started deriding women in sport

The per hour gender pay gap was 19.7 percent in 2013. The ten percent wage gap only takes into account full time workers.

Gross per hour wage gap for employees in 2013:

22-29 5.3

30-39 12.0

40-49 26.7

Surely this report is primarily about women's pay before they have children, which is when the pay gap widens considerably?

Where's the source for that article?

this is the ONS report www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/ashe/annual-survey-of-hours-and-earnings/2014-provisional-results/stb-ashe-statistical-bulletin-2014.html

this is the BBC reporting which provides much more detail than the OP's link www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-30112814

Jackie, I. don't know about the OP's, but government analysis for the year before is here:

www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/295833/Analysis_of_the_Gender_Pay_Gap.pdf

The ONS report that Chopper linked to puts the per hour pay gap for all workers at 19.1 percent.

Given that in some age bands most women are working part time, the figures are not helpful as they don't take into account the per hour wages of so many women.

see why dose feminism even exist in the wetst when his is good evidence that women have more rights then men in the world of work
