“Actually, that hasn’t been true for decades. But they still like to use that as a reason to not pay women as much.” Women don’t want to work. Women have jobs not careers. Women stay home with the kids, that’s why they earn less. They tend to work part-time when they come back to juggle family life. They choose to work in lower paid industries. It’s still equal pay for equal work but women don’t do equal work. If they were willing to ruin their nails and get down to a construction site or a mine they wouldn’t have this problem.
Without affordable access to childcare, women face even more barriers returning to work full time as they become the default primary carer There is no such thing as unskilled labour and no one is begrudging bricklayer’s labourers for making what they do. But is it right we regard their work more important, at least financially, than workers whose job it is to keep our children alive? Or is it because we deem it less serious and more just a natural thing women like doing so they should be paid less for it?
