Gender-pay-inequality-The-Simple-Truth
In 2016, women working full time in the United States typically were paid just
80 percent of what men were paid, a gap of 20 percent (Semega et al., 2017).
The gap has narrowed since 1960, due largely to women’s progress in education
and workforce participation and to men’s wages rising at a slower rate.
At the rate of change between 1960 and 2016 women are expected to reach pay
equity with men in 2059. But even that slow progress has stalled in recent years.
If change continues at the slower rate seen since 2001, women will not reach pay
equity with men until 2119 (figure 1).
The gender pay gap has lifelong financial effects. For one, it contributes directly
to women’s poverty. In 2016, 13 percent of American women ages 18–64 were
living below the federal poverty level, compared with 10 percent of men. For
ages 65 and older 11 percent of women and 8 percent of men were living in poverty
(Semega et al., 2017). Eliminating the gender pay gap by increasing women’s
levels of pay to those of men could cut the poverty rate for working women
in half (Hartmann et al., 2014).
