ARGUMENTS IN FAVOUR OF CLOSING THE GENDER

PAY GAP:
 Organization’s female representatives/employees need to be like
coming to work that organization values to their talents, abilities or
skills.
 The women who are single- separated, divorced, widowed, or
never married women, they live on their own earnings-equal pay,
for which if we close the gender pay gap it will be a benefit to drop
in poverty rates.
 The men and women both are working in same organization but
didn’t pay equal so this situation also leads towards depression,
less successful, demotivated, less-hard work and so on. For this,
organization should encourage them/ provide same salary.
ARGUMENTS AGAINST OF CLOSING THE GENDER
PAY GAP
 Women are not paying less in workforce the truth is that women
are working in bad occupations.
 According to survey most of the companies have male employees
in their senior positions like CEO so that’s why male have high
salaries than women.
 Men work harder than women in all their tasks and perform all
their responsibilities as compared to women and they are tends to
work longer hours.
 Gender wage gap sometimes assert that women are not primary
wage earners in their households and that gender disparities in
pay reflect this notion.
