Oftentimes women have to settle for less. Don’t let that happen to you. Choose a career you will love and will pay you handsomely. Here are some of the best paying jobs for women.
Do Men get Paid More Than Women?
Women and men should have equal economic opportunities in life, but unfortunately that is not the case. Men still get paid more than women.
There are many reasons women get paid less, but they all have one thing in common – discrimination. Oftentimes women have to prove their worth through qualifications and experience, but they still get less.
The Gender Pay Gap
Although there are ‘progressive’ companies in South Africa, the gender pay gap between men and women still exists.
It’s evident in the ILO Global Wage report’s 2018/19 statistics, that women get paid 28% less than men. What’s even more shocking is that South Africa has the world’s largest gender inequality wage gap.
