According to the American Association of University Women, a woman earns 82 cents to every dollar paid to a man. Because of that, women’s social security and pensions are lower, getting 70% of what men do. So, the wage gap affects women in all the stages of their productive life.
Furthermore, the inequality between women is also palpable.
For example, Hispanic women earn 55% of the salary of white men, while Asian women get 87%. This means that even as the impact is felt for all women, the ethnic background also matters in how big the wage gap can be. Other aspects are important too, like age, education, and social status (AAWU, 2020).
