Room 3 these past two weeks have been working on our yearly speeches. With many topics this year I decided to write on the topic of the gender pay gap.
To eliminate sex discrimination when it comes to wages I hope, would be the next step in society. Genders should have the same opportunities to participate in employment regardless of gender. A gender pay gap is an irrelevant option, equality is the revolution and these terms are finally being addressed. Today I’m just here as a decoy to help share a message that should've been recognized years ago. A world with these many problems that we have created is a place I no longer want to be in.
The gender salary gap has been an investment for decades. As of 2016, women employed full-time received 20 percent less, than their male equivalents. The gap has been moderately improving from the 1970s. scientists advance to study the root and solution of unequal pay. Equal value, from now on I want women to get 100% of the same earnings that men get. With being a female financial advisor you are only earning 58.90% of what the men are on an average weekly, administrative services managers: 62.19%, sales agents: 64.34%, emergency medical technicians: 65.50%, janitorial workers: 68.76%. Each of the jobs posted here has at least 50,000 workers each of gender, I beg to differ with people who agreed that this is fair two people of the opposite- gender work the same job but with unequal earnings.
It IS A GLOBAL PROBLEM Over 145 countries have a recorded pay gap. Its 2015 research labels an important point;. Eliminating the gender wage gap can earn within $12 trillion and $28 trillion to GDP by 2025. This is an incentive to level wages. Another report shows that poverty could descend by around 50% in the United States if the gender pay gap were to be closed.
State and federal social programs financed by income and wage taxes are dramatically influenced by the wage gap. Because women make less money, these tax revenues—various of which finance essential community services—are lower than they should be. Yet many women have invested the same time and money into higher education as their male equivalents, they frequently do not earn the same salary. According to a CAPAF report, a woman with a bachelor’s degree or can lose $713,000 over the extent of a 40-year career. With a hard job exchange, women need an incentive to continue investing in higher education.
Equal value is important. We have been hearing a lot about equality in the corporate world with many of today’s business leaders taking bold steps to incorporate authentic diversity and equality in the workplace. But what does that mean? And how can the CEO break down this concept into tangible, enforceable policies within their work environment? “If we can not settle our differences, we can at least make the world safer for diversity”.
Nice try, I can tell you researched your topic thoroughly.
ReplyDeleteHey Hinetai, Your speech is very convincing and I especially liked how you added facts.
ReplyDeleteNice work. I like how you had lots of statistics and when I was reading it it came across as though it were your own words.
ReplyDeleteHI Hinetai, Your speech is very topical at the moment, as New Zealand is pushing to enforce gender equality. You have clearly researched your topic and included relevant, important detail to persuade your audience. Adding rhetorical questions as the end added to the overall impact of your speech? How did you go presenting this to your class? ~Mrs Davan~
ReplyDeleteHello, thank you for taking the time to comment. Wow, I had never given thought about the rhetorical questions so I give thanks for mentioning it. I went well presenting the video to the entirety of the class, projecting the video of me saying the speech was an easier experience then reading aloud which is why I enjoyed the experience. Is there anything You would suggest otherwise? Thanks again

Great reflection Hinetai. I'm not much of a public speaker, but I'd rather speak publicly instead of videoing myself. The only other thing I would suggest, is to make your introduction of your blog post (the WALT) stand out, as to not be part of your speech. Great work.
