There's been a lot of talk lately about how the pay gap between men and women still hasn't disappeared. The pay gap is probably the most publicly discussed gender issue. Work-life balance and how parenthood effects each gender differently is probably the second most. But it goes deeper than that. lisleman over at A Few Clowns Short posted this awesome UK public announcement, and the sociologist in me just wants to share it with everyone.
Watch it.
Then go visit lisleman. He has a lot to say.
Thank you for recommendation. I do believe pay should be equal for the same job. Also, I just finished listening to an interview on NPR about the family leave issue here in the US. The US is far behind most of the rich countries of the world in work leaves for having children. The solution doesn't have a simple answer but the issue should be discussed more.
ReplyDeleteI do have a lot to say over on my blog but not necessarily on this subject. It is an important subject.
thanks again.
