This data presentation is utter bs. Like what point are you trying to make?

I don't think it makes sense to compare absolute pay gaps. At least, present it together with a percentual value and sort the countries by the relative gap.

I don’t see how that relates to this.

Interesting. The graph is ordered by the highest %gap. Ethiopia has the highest % gap. But it would be unfair to highlight that considering their pay is well below the world average.

Yes obv. Doesn't change the fact that women chose these jobs by themselves. It's peak femininism, everyone can study what he or she wants.

Edit: If you edit your post substantially please show it.

-So you want to tell women what they should work?

This doesnt make sence. Why are there only two genders? Also gender is a made up term why put this into an arbitrary category.

It's not the case, the graph is ordered by %gap. Ethiopia has the highest %gap.

It's the ILO data. They don't cover all geographies. For the ones they cover, some of them don't have enough data vintage. So excluded them.

However the ordering is by % gap basis. I did want to suggest that Ethiopia has a big problem, when the earnings irrespective of male or female is extremely low compared to World average.

The undervaluing of professions dominated by women that are critical to society has knock on effects.

When data presentation = dogshit

Something has gone wrong with the colours. There's only 3 colours instead of the spectrum the key suggests. 97th rank is the same shade as the 4th rank.

Yeah, it should be shown as a percentage of the pay instead

Then what's the problem with the gender pay gap? What the person described is perfectly normal and fair

Edit: except the part where women get paid more than men for the same work but that's not "what everyone means" as you've said

True, that was not the best argument. But calling this a pay gap is intentionally missleading, since it takes averages over all professions for both genders and then implies that the difference means women get paid less for the same work. The truth is though, that almost all pay gap is due to different carreer prefferences between the genders - to use the most cliche example the technological faculties have majority of men while social faculties have majority of women. Once you count in the prefferences, the pay gap shrinks almost to zero.

Is paywalled content banned? (NYT/FT/WSJ/SCMP/TE etc.)

Stack this up with games next, that’s pretty awesome

Perhaps we need to value nurses and teachers, and many other female dominated professions, more highly.

I worry moving all the teachers and nurses into trades will have some knock on effects that might not be so great for the economy in the long run.

Then we need more women in construction jobs. And women should get less children.

Maybe they don't want that and the statistics show that. So how about making a statistic about certain jobs? Men die earlier, also not shown in the graph

This map/graph is pretty….absurd.

That’s like a completely false simplification. Employment has a large number of factors that affect the supply and demand. Proximity to the work location affects available workers. Skill/experience affects available workers. Need for income affects tolerances in pay gap. Lack of choices affects tolerances in pay gap. Just to name a few.

Gender pay gap doesn’t necessarily mean for the same work. It can include that sometimes but that’s not what it means

Because it's bs. It's not allowed by law to pay less for a certain gender for the same work where I live and still the gap is huge.
