Frauen arbeiten seltener in Handwerk, Industrie & Landwirtschaft – laut Destatis. Wie ist es in der Mobilität? ✈️ 🚢 🚆 Das diskutiert das mFUND Frauennetzwerk am 11. April, 13-15 Uhr. 3 Speakerinnen (tba) sprechen über den #GenderGap im Mobilitätsbereich.
A call from @wikipedia Chief Communications Officer Anusha Alikhan to help close the #GenderGap by bringing more #women editors and articles to #Wikipedia.
Amanda Burgauer: "There's a lot of data in that one question about safety, equality of girls and boys, and physical activity. And so this is not what you get when you measure GDP. You wouldn't be looking at those qualities at all.... GDP would simply ask: How much did her bike cost."
Thousands of public employees in Lyon now have the option to work four days a week instead of five, without taking a pay cut.
The south-eastern city, one of France's biggest, is experimenting with a shorter work week in the hope of reducing absenteeism and narrowing the gender gap.
Where are the women? Nearly 500 women are 'missing' from key positions of power in Scotland 👇
In a new report: ‘Sex & Power in Scotland 2023’ published today, Engender charts the number of women in key decision-making positions and highlights the significant void that exists in women’s representation and distribution of power in Scotland.
This graph is making the rounds again on other social media sites. It begs the question "Why do men pay off their student loans, but women can't/won't?"
It's not Black history month, but you already know the answer!
Black women are forced to borrow more for their education. Then Black women are paid less when they graduate, even for the same degree.
A disproportionate amount of the $1.7 Trillion of loan debt (not a typo. Trillion. With a "T.") is held by Black women that did everything right)
@mekkaokereke Another problem that’s tangled up with the student loan repayment is that women are more likely to get degrees in “soft science” or “social work.” I got a Psychology degree (BA), and so had a pay range in the $20K range until I went back for a teacher’s license—all of this after my kids were in school. This is far worse for POC—I’m part White & disabled. #PayGap#WomensWork#Racism#GenderGap#PovertyTax#UniversalChildcare
When #women hit their 40s, they drop behind men in their pension savings; 'A lot of this will be due to women taking career breaks to have children, working part-time around caring responsibilities, or the gender pay gap meaning they earn less – which all filters through to lower incomes and lower pension contributions.'
#Tories will claim there's a private sector solution... but its really a state responsibility!
"In the 101 top-grossing G-rated films from 1990 to 2005, just 28% of speaking characters were female. Even in crowd scenes—even in animated crowd scenes—male characters vastly outnumber female ones. In the 56 top grossing films of 2018, women portrayed in positions of leadership were four times more likely than men to be shown naked."
