OPINION | Actually, we’re pretty good with money, but pay us what we deserve
Women around the world have another two centuries to wait for the global gender pay gap to close fully. Picture: 123RF/LIGHTWISEBut speakers and articles about how women and their finances seldom celebrate anything – instead they tell us the depressing things we already know – that we earn less and pay the price of staying at home to look after children and living longer.
With these stronger money habits, we would be at an advantage if we enjoyed greater protection during child-bearing years and gender equal pay. The institutes also found that children meant women were only able to do an hour of uninterrupted work for every three that men did. Why do we as women allow this pay gap and why do those who reach executive level not use their positions to campaign for an end to the gender pay gap?
