Effect of Income Inequalities on Women

• Women (Income Inequalities)

  Women are significantly effected by inequalities, particularly in terms of income inequality.

  Women tend to have greater expectations placed on them to care for their families and complete household jobs. This can mean that they have to choose between work and childcare forcing them into part time jobs which pay less wages. → women earning significantly less and paying significantly less into their pensions than men over the course of their working lifetimes.

  Women are more likely than men to work part time as a result of being the primary care giver and experience income inequality as a result of this.
