UWLP: The Gender Wage Gap
Rating
0.0 stars

It is a panel discussion focused on understanding the wage gap issues in Utah. The gender wage gap is a persistent concern in the United States, where women make about 82% of what men make for comparable work. And the numbers in Utah are more extreme, where a woman earns approximately 71 cents for each dollar a man earns. In fact, year after year, Utah is consistently near the bottom of national rankings in terms of gender pay equity. Although the existence of the wage gap is indisputable, many try to discount it or attribute the entire gap to “women’s choices.”

In reality, the wage gap is deeply complicated, with dozens of contributing factors, including educational attainment, recruiting practices, negotiation success, hours worked, occupational segregation, and unpaid care work, not to mention unconscious bias and plain-old sexism. Our panel of experts will discuss some of the most important contributing factors, dig deeper into how the gap varies by race and other demographics, and evaluate major efforts to reduce the wage gap, including both private and public initiatives. Join us for what is sure to be a fascinating discussion of this critical issue, one that affects not just women, but families, communities, our businesses, and the state as a whole.

UWLP: The Status of Women Worldwide
UWLP: The Status of Women Worldwide
Rating
0.0 stars

Two internationally acclaimed speakers, Sharon Eubank and Dr. Valerie M. Hudson, share their expertise, insights, and research on the status of women worldwide in terms of basic needs, health, violence against women in society, equity for women in families and communities, women’s educational attainment, human trafficking, maternal mortality, the extent to which women are involved in societal decision making, leadership, and current humanitarian and policy efforts to address these issues and others. They will also discuss how the status of women in society is linked to the well-being of communities and nations (see bios on next page). Importantly, each will address why it is important for Utahns to become informed and empowered as global citizens and how to make a difference. Women (12 years and older) and those who influence them are invited (men too)!
