Question

Question: Do you agree or disagree with comparable worth advocates' perspectives on the gender wage gap? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer: The comparable worth perspective considers that men and women should get pay equity or in other terms equal pay for their efforts that require same type of skills, knowledge and labor. I fully agree with this perspective as not following this perspective is unjustified and biased. When two employees are putting in same effort and one is getting lesser pay for equal effort just because of her gender is discrimination. Such type of behavior also discourages the females to put less effort and this can result in the loss of productivity. The females are equally talented as compared to males and hence they should get equal opportunities and should be treated fairly. In order to improve the overall productivity in the organizations and society it is essential that both females and males are treated equally when it comes to compensation for work. Females are an important part of our workforce.
