Gender pay gap

Man are being paid more than women, even by holding the same job title, and this is even more apparent in
desk jobs. According to the Salaries and Wages Survey Report 2015, men were earning up to 8.4% more
than women in the year 2015.
Gender discrimination is one of the core reasons for pay inequality around the world. An Indonesian 2010
Labor Force Survey showed that female workers’ monthly pay was 28,7% lower than their male
counterparts due to gender discrimination.
A Malaysian executive director has said that men are paid more because more years of experience, adding
that women who become mohters tend to stop working,at least for a period of time, and this affects their
salary. However, this explaination of the pay gap was not reasonable because even college graduates face
pay inequality.
In the past, female teachers in Malaysia faced a disadvantage not just with their pay but also with their basic
status. For instance, female teachers who got married would lose their pernament status as a teacher and
would be regarded as a “pernament temperary staff”. The Women Teacher’s Union was formed in 1960 in
order to fight for equal pay and rights between male and female staff, and pay equality for female teachers
was finally achieved in the year 1964.
According to the World Economic Forum, women will be earning 41,2% less than their male counterparts
by the year 2030. Asia will be the only region in the world to experience worsening gender wage gap from
now till 2030. The World Economic Forum has said that it will take 81 years to close the gender gap in the
workplace.
