Me and my wife earn the same per hour. We don’t have kids. We both bought houses before we married and have kept our assets separate due to taxation reasons. I take home 3 times more than she does. I have 6 times more capital than she does. She works half the hours I do. She spends 3 times more per month than I do. She uses all her holiday and sick benefits from her job. I still have last years holiday sat in my benefits balance and 4 years of unused sick benefits. We work for the same company at the same level. Three people part share her job roll responsibilities. In statistical roll reviews i out perform her team on my own by 14%. I regularly work overtime and get double pay for doing it and I’m still cheaper to employ due to the volume of work than my wife’s team. This is due to the fact I don’t have to have a meeting with my self to tell me what I’ve been doing while the other half of me wasn’t at work. Her team have that meeting 3 times a week. Gender pay gap. Life choices.

I see and experience this all the time. Only a fortnight ago, one of our engineers returned from 18 months paid maternity leave and has spent her 3 days a week handing out promotional items, talking about her experiences as a new parent, and planning a company-wide breakfast for international women’s day, with guest speakers focusing on women entering executive positions (which I won’t be attending). It’s one thing to be provided the choices and freedoms to have flexible working arrangements, it’s another thing entirely to moan about not being paid the same as those who don’t. Something about eating cake...

Skill, difficulty and danger are all multipliers for income. People who may not have above average skills take on the other 2. I get paid more working in warehousing than someone in low level retail because my job is more physical and the environment is harsher - heat in summer, cold in winter, dirtier and greater chance of injury. So when recent news reports on comparing different value roles and the efforts trying to equalise pay rates claiming sexism www.spectator.com.au/2019/02/unequal-work-equal-pay-because-you-feel-you-deserve-it/ it pisses me off. My experience is that I have seen discrimination - against men. When you have the women on the same pay rate as you while they are pushing around a trolley picking orders and you're in the back of a 40ft shipping container unloading it box by box, who is the one really getting shafted? Or when they get the same as you, but you're doing part of their job for them because they aren't capable of doing something expected of an average male. Women throw gender equality out the window when it comes down to doing the heavy lifting. They suddenly become really nice and ask you to do it for them.

Weird that something like Uber, a completely automated system that doesn't know or care about the sex of employees, ended up "paying men more." There is no pay gap, there is an earnings gap. Men who drove for Uber worked for a longer period of time, worked more regularly, worked longer hours, worked at less convenient but more lucrative times, were more efficient with the number of passengers they served over the time they worked, and more. Thus, they earned more money. Simple. Feminists hear this and assert that Uber's system is sexist. Realists hear this and wonder why men, who are actually better employees in measurable ways, are getting paid at the same rate as women who are demonstrably worse.

All that stuff John Doe says about men willing to work the hours is true, and that itself *shows* they're better. But only at that job and others that run under the same principle concept. The reason you see so many women in secretary jobs is because they've evolved to be more empathetic than men because they're the ones that bore our children. So naturally, they're better at reading and appealing to people. Men are bigger and stronger on average, so they'd naturally be more suited for the heavy lifting stuff. Which in turn, explains why they're always in the more dangerous jobs. So, to blindly claim men are better than women in jobs in general, is wrong. Men *are* better than women in *some* jobs, just as women *are* better than men in *some* jobs. But again, those are averages and we can still have muscley(er then men) women and empathetic(er than women) men.

You don't get paid to simply be the parent of your child.

Men largely seek to create their own wealth. As evidenced by wealthy men dating/marrying women who bring little financially, but are often very attractive. Men would put a women's looks higher on the list than women in regards to men's attractiveness. So a woman can be broke and have a great body and bag a millionaire.

"A bit disingenuous" is an understatement. Even by her own statement she wanted to be a CEO and marry a CEO.

I saw this video in my recommendations, and thought I'd share a recent conversation with my sister-in-law who is an RN at the local hospital... We were driving to Reno and somehow got on the subject of the "pay gap". She told me that male she makes a certain amount, but that males make more, to the amount of $10/hr more. I thought this was crazy, not her facts but that males were getting paid more than females while being equally qualified/ doing the same work/ working the same hours. We continued the conversation, and eventually the bomb dropped: QUOTAS. I found the reason for the "pay gap", and it was as stupid as it was believable, that the hospital needed to make a quota based on gender, and to meet that quota the hospital had to pay men more to meet it. Whether this is just the hospital making stupid rules or gov't intervention is unknown to me, but the bottom line is that the "pay gap" isn't some "patriarchy" menace, its a problem of politics and business, of stupid ideas and dreams of equality. Don't settle for the surface picture, dig deeper and you'll find the real reason for inequality.

The irony here is that if the women who worked 25 hours a week earned the same as the man who worked over 60 hours a week, there would in fact be a gender earnings gap, yet the logic behind understanding that relatively simple concept is lost on so many...

This is one of the most civilised debates I have ever watched on this subject. Absolutely everybody had a fair crack of the whip and each put forward articulate points, non of which were talked over. Big thumbs up. FYI - I am a father of two girls and I do not want either of my girls to be held back growing up and I do not believe that they will. I am confident any gender pay gap they experience will I am sure be down to life choices they make and I am schooling them both to be strong and independent, be responsible, respectful and caring. Here are our family facts. My wife can cope with our girls - I can't. She would love to stop working to spend more time with our girls, I don't (and we couldn't afford for me and my wife to take more time off each). And despite my very best efforts to get my eldest girl into 'boys' subjects she still wants to be a teacher and not an engineer. My youngest however is a bull in a China shop and I have little doubt she will bully her way to the top. Oh. And so you know. I care for both my children one day a week all on my own by design and it is hard as hell, I am just not wired up for it. Mother hood (or as I like to say the parent) gap is the real issue and only individual families are best served to decide who should stay home... It's not always salary they want.

Meanwhile in the coalmine: The what gap? Meanwhile on the oil rigs: The what gap? Meanwhile at the steel mill: The what gap? All this panel has is a MALE GAP.

I love listening to Kate Andrews, Not because she's a woman but because she knows her stuff. Very well researched.

So why is there a very big bias on the stage with only women up there. Also if the pay gap, men would never get hired if women were cheaper. If you want to compare the difference between what a man works and a woman works, you need to compare the same job not different ones. Yes over a lifetime a woman will earn less because they go off and have children where men stay working. But if you had a man and a woman doing the exact same job for their entire life and they only worked a standard week (38 hours in Australia) and you take out the woman having a child, they would both work the same amount and both earn the same amount. Jobs are valued differently yes, but that has nothing to do with a gender pay gap, that has to do with how society sees what is seen as more important and how the unions have worked for workers rights. If you want to compare men and womens sport, it comes down to how much companies are willing to sponsor clubs and teams. And how much money these said companies will benefit from it. So if they think they will get more exposure from men sports they will put more money into it, meaning men will get paid more. But if qorks on getting bums on seats to watch games. That is they certain players get paid more than others

@@raysonviswas Well not quite. My point about the free market is not that prices will tend to sort themselves out - that's a consequence of a free market. The foundation of a free market is that we should all be able to charge and pay whatever we choose. If we can't find someone to trade with then tough - it's up to us to revisit our our decisions. Any further discussion is like arguing about how to defend ourselves against the cheeseman of the moon - totally pointless. The first pillar of Marxism is that people own their own labor. The second pillar is that the price a person sells his labor at is dictated by a central authority. That's the end of Marxism right there. Hoisted by their own petard.

Women DO choose not to be the CEO, just as MOST men choose to not be the CEO. It's not like you say, "hey I'd like to be a CEO", and someone says sure, fill out this form and you'll be a CEO in 6 weeks. It takes an ungodly amount of effort, that most men or women just aren't willing to perform, that's a choice.

yes, there are infinite pay gaps, men have different salaries from other men too, employer/employee relationship is a contractual one and differs for everyone, most companies start their entry level position with the same salary but beyond that it depends on each employee to negotiate the term of his employment those hags arguing in favor of the gender pay gap misinformation should create their own company and pay their employees equally but i guarantee you that that is not going to happen because just like everyone else, they have prejudices and i don't doubt they'd give preference to those employees that they are fond of minimum wage i think would be a solution to stop these hags from wasting more time and money on this issue, no pay should be below minimum wage and anything above minimum wage is up to both employer and employee

I am 47 years old and have never EVER earned more than any woman I have worked with. Some fucker owes me some money.

Chris Rock got it spot on - When men tell their friends about their new girlfriend, they ask, what does she look like? When Women tell their friends about their new boyfriend, they ask, what does he do??

Either produce a large number of pilot jobs or whatever that can satisfy all the ambitious people or get ready for a bunch of angry men. All societies through history have had to deal with the risk of angry young men, now you will have a bunch of them earning less than not only other men but a large number of women. Hope it all works out. {Just an fyi for anyone who might care the study of orchestra hiring with blind screens does not actually show a result in an increase in women, if anything it leads to more men being hired or no over all affect.}

20:03 Why programmers get payed more than nurses? -Scalability! You can only help one person at a time and can only provide care to a certain number of people per day. Programmer makes software that can be sold in infinite number of copies and the revenue from it is that much larger. theoretically, good software can sell a million copies a day, a nurse cannot tend to a million people per day.

If there really was a *gender pay gap,* business managers would simply hire all women and reduce payroll expense by 15% or whatever amount these liars say - and improve their profit margin and EBITDA and get bigger bonuses.

Fascinating video. I don't believe there is a gender pay gap, when equal work and equal time is considered, but as most things, the issue isn't as cut and dry and we'd like it to be. It was nice to have a great panel and audience discuss it.

If the gender pay gap is really true then, here are some reasons why men get paid more: - Men usually work more hours and work overtime - Majority of career fields like engineering, business, science etc are done mainly by males - Women may have to do a maternity leave

A panel debating gender issues without one of the genders being represented.

The fact of the matter is that a woman's perspective is more valuable when having that discussion. Once again, I still don't concede that it is a trend to omit men from the discussions, name your sources more explicitly please.

A nurse can only take care of X amount of people a day there's a cost for each person so the return is fixed, the nurse can only be paid based on that return. Now, if you take the result of a programmer's work the return on that is not limited in the same way at all, you can sell a program to as many people as you can reach therefore the monetary value is higher.

This is actually a quite rational and civilized debate (or discussion) that you can hardly see when it comes to gender issues. Too often these kinds of events are either only one-sided or occupied by people who hate and contempt the other side. I am not a fan of modern feminism but I think at least the feminists in this panel seem willing to discuss.

If women and men are getting paid for the same job, than there isn’t a pay gab. If women choose to stay home or to take a lower paying job that’s their choice. That’s not sexism.

at my workplace, my boss, the finance manager is a woman, the plant manager who technically has a slightly lower ranking than her is a man. he is 20-25 ish years older, they both do a lot of unpaid overtime ( he does more in hours but the quality of his work is far lower seeing how me and her constantly have to cover up his mistakes) she earns around 100-200 euros more than him after taxes. So women: it is entirely possible, you just have to be willing to put in the work. working in accounting/finance/administration, i've had more female bosses than male.

Considering men work a lot more than women, and we have most of the high paying jobs, of women get paid 77 cents for every dollar a man makes, that means women are generally getting paid more, and a minority of men are the highest earners.

That old bags comparison between coding and nursing is complete BullShit. I work for an international software company in the Quality Assurance department and my GF is a RN at the hospital here.

In Finland average salary for nurse is 2350eur/month (but the range is 2200-3300). Average salary for programmer is 3100eur/month (and range is 2500-5000). And I think it is mostly due to nurses being paid by government (tax money) and most programmers are paid by companies (where the programmer is bringing in money for the company). Nurses should be paid more, but no politician is willing to raise the taxes to fund it.
