Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Wives do not earn as much as their husbands, says new global study
On average, women earn less than men do in most countries. One reason is that women tend to be occupied with more time on unpaid work, such as housework and caregiving so that they can work less time on paid work. For example, they perform as much as 80% of the housework in Asia, according to an International Labor Organization report. Secondly, women tend to leave work to raise children for ranging from a few months to several years, or even longer. This creates a blank in their career and working time. Furthermore, there still are a gender pay gap and unequal pay for the same work in many parts of the world. Though the gap has been narrowing in general, it seems to take time to realize equal pay for equal work in some cultures where women are traditionally regarded as an auxiliary workforce.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about how women earn less than men.
