Yes, in theory, but there are a lot of hidden variables such as maternity leave as to why women earn less than men
@96ZHD972yrs2Y
Yes, but this is irrelevant because the gender wage gap is a myth
@8T75KXJ3yrs3Y
Should be based on role and skills not gender
@9FGWW681yr1Y
Yes & No Negotiation is a big factor if two people are offered same role doing same work and are offered the same salary and one person accepts the first offer and the other negotiates a higher salary then i do not see a problem they deserve the higher salary for the use of their negotiation skills.
@9HM7ZJW12mos12MO
1. No, Gender pay gap is a myth 2. It should be based off of their work experience, skills and etc. 3. Government should not determine what a private business should pay their employees. 4.Both Genders should have equal opportunities.
@mikemike3yrs3Y
there is already a law 40 years ago passed in Ireland that states its illegal to pay someone less if their a woman
@8C5RDBV4yrs4Y
Yes, if they work the same hours, contribute the same amount, work full time, etc. Otherwise, positive discrimination is unfair.
@93TSBPP2yrs2Y
Yes they should but isn't it already illegal to pay differently based on a persons gender??
