Women paid lesser worldwide
Gender gap is not just in developing countries but also in developed countries like the US. Men and women are born equal… then why this gap? Who is responsible?
Studies show that in college, women outperformed men academically, and their grade averages were higher in every class. Yet, when it comes to earning, they are paid much less than what their male counterparts do.
Why and where this gap emerges? Why are we paid less? Why are women given lesser opportunities than men? No matter how much progress we make in our lives, this is an unsolved puzzle for every educated human being. The gap must be bridged if we want women to rise. It is not wrong to say that women make men…. so the future of our children is in women’s (mother’s) hands. Women must be given more opportunities and paid equal to their male counterparts.
In Qatar many Companies started paying House allowances…Children's education etc. for female staff also…but it's not mandatory yet.How many ladies receiving the same pay as their male counterpart here? Do men have any valid points to debate?
sad but true
Gypsy…are you sponsored by your Company? I thought western women who are under the Company sponsorship will get housing and other allowances. The employers justify themselves by saying that our husband/father is getting housing allowance....Its absurd…..in the current situation the rent we pay is mostly higher than the allowance they get.
are you nuts? may be if you take women in higher positions than men! Which is quite rare!
In Germany the salary is equal. Sure there are some jobs men earn better, depending on the work, especially craftsmen. That women have better study results at universities is a fairy tale arising from the fact that fewer women are studying, assuming only those doing it with a goal. Men in most parts study because everybody does. That might explain the reason of the results, as the motivation to study is a filter for results.
I muself have the opinion that equal results earn equal money.
I'm not getting paid the same as my male counterparts, even though I have more experience and am 4 years older. Under his contract he gets a car allowance and an apartment, plus what I am being paid. I am just getting the pay.

I think here in Qatar women are better paid than men.
I can debate that if a woman does the same job as a man she should be paid the same amount of money. Anything less is pure discrimination and sexism.
