If we look at the community services and health sector as a whole it is paid less because it tends to have more women.
I don't think this is the reason - it is because it isn't valued very highly by society, unfortunately. OnlyFans has more women also, that doesn't mean they get paid less than the men there.
You use physical strength jobs, which is a good example of no perfect fit. While men on average will be more suited, many many will not be able to do those jobs either. There will be some women who could do the job, but percentage wise out of the female population, it is likely lower. This is why "pay for the job performed" should be the go to condition for salary.
Let's be honest when they talk about work culture wolf of wall St comes to mind.
What do you mean?
What I do now is that workplaces have to hire based on whether someone will fit in with their culture and who can collaborate these days, otherwise the unit doesn't perform well for the most part.
People's outlook is still outdated.
Yes it is, but the outdated view is being promoted by these headline articles that do not actually consider nuance. Nuance is dead in public discourse, which is why all arguments are polarized and no one is allowed to be in the center and even-handed, because they get attacked by both extremes.
Work culture in many sectors are not appropriate places for women just look at the data. In Australia Canberra (parliament house) is becoming known as a rape dungeon with many cases of sexual harassment and rape emerging.
Sports sector, business sector. What is work culture? I've worked in many places and am aware perhaps things are different in Finland.
You nailed it right there. "Not valued as much" why? How can saving a life not be valued more? Everyone valued nurses through the pandemic.
There is even data to suggest when men join an industry wages climb also.
Again though hard to gauge when I live in a different country and Finland is doing some great things.
But, is this actually the case, or is it just getting a lot of publicity on the back of a couple situations?
Because society values money. People didn't mind trillions going to pharma companies to offer vaccines, but why not divert some of that to the nurses who administer them? Maybe Pharma should contribute.
It is the same in the finance sector - the best mathematicians aren't working on solving clean energy, they are creating algorithms to increase investment profits. This is the world.
Yes, and you just nailed the inequality part of it lol 😆 no health = no money.
Wouldn't say top mathematicians are working to address clean energy. I can't speak for Finland but in Victoria I was apart of the movement for the VRET and we worked with.... underpaid uni professors to achieve it.
I did say top - there are plenty of mathmeticiams working on it - but there are some crazy smart people on wall street, with the only aim to maximize wealth. They have been doing it for 4 decades now.
