The Cost Of Sexism
What an eye-opener. š
Being neither an economist nor very well versed in any matters that affect a global populousā¦
ā¦reading this has given me a real sense of perspective.
If youāre a man in business at the moment and you believe that scientifically, physically, biologically or any other illogical statement that āwomen are an inferior species to menā - read this book. It covers all the angles a misogynist may counter an argument with.
A quote that brings some of the eye-watering statistics into focus:
āThe damage the pay gap does to Britain's economy is considerable.
British women lose Ā£140 billion a year in pay due to the gender gap,
an average of Ā£9,112 (about US$12,000) a year per person. And Britain sacrifices about ā¬123 billion a year because of lost productivity associated with unequal compensation.ā
I urge everyone to pick up a copy of this. Weāre all missing a trick. Every piece of information from Linda Scott is backed up with first hand accounts and real/present data.
Disclaimer: On reflection I have contributed in the past towards sexist behaviour and Iāll own that.
Nevertheless, Iām glad I have the opportunity to educate myself further š I'm now equipped.
