Why do women earn less than men?
PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AS THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO YOU!!! I HAVE ALSO INCLUDED ALL THE INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED!!!!!
As you read Chapter 12, think about what it means to be a male or female in today’s society. In addition pay close attention to this week’s .ppt. The .ppt is a series of charts and graphs illustrating trends in higher education and the workforce according to gender. Two trends to notice are:
- Women, on average, earn about 75 cents for every dollar a man earns.
- More women are enrolled in college/university than men.
If earning potential is tied to educational attainment, then why do women earn less money than men? More women are enrolled in college than men, should equate to more women with college degrees than men with college degrees, right?
