"The Gender Pay Gap: A Global Perspective"
The gender pay gap refers to the difference in earnings between men and women in the workforce. Globally, women often earn less than men for similar work, predominantly due to factors like discrimination, differences in industries or job roles, and unequal access to opportunities. While the gap has narrowed in some regions over time, it persists worldwide, influenced by cultural norms and economic conditions. Addressing this issue requires policies promoting equal pay, supporting women's education and career advancement, and challenging stereotypes that limit women's roles in the workplace. Closing the gap is essential for achieving gender equality and economic growth.
