I am against this idea for equal pay. I am thinking that women need to earn more money than men! We know women as small number in leading positions in business companies within exception in US and some developed states. Furthermore women would raise company's revenues in desired point. This means that women are successful entrepreneurs and relations with workers-employees are giving motivation for work due to some priority which have women. So we have to bring women to equal stage for pay and then to forward them in leading positions as high paid wages.
tomcatwarne: Over 40 years after the Equal Pay Act came into force in the UK women still face a stark gap in their earnings compared to men’s and experience one of the highest pay gaps in the EU.
In 2012, comparing all work, women earned 18.6% less per hour than men. Comparing those in full-time work, women earned an average of 14.9% less per hour than men – this means that for every £1 a man takes home, a woman takes home 85p.
The pay gap varies across sectors and regions, rising to up to 33% in the City of London and 55% in the finance sector.
Sure. Once they work the same, then there's no problem.
As for the Finance Sector, the few women working in Managerial Positions often practice wage discrimination on their employees (female). This I've witnessed myself.
