International Women’s Day: Gender, Equality and Personal Finance
Happy International Women’s Day!
We’re marking the occasion with a content celebration featuring work from women in personal finance media. Check out the intersection of gender equality and money below.
Gender Equality & Personal Finance
“Have the conversation.
Advocate for yourself.
When you do well in your position, ask for a raise.“
“The gender pay gap is still alive and well. Ultimately, this issue is the responsibility of our government and our business. They are the ones who can create and implement equal pay policies across the board. But that doesn’t mean that the rest of us are helpless to make change.”
“Whenever women negotiate, there is always a “Shadow Negotiation” – the unspoken assumptions, cultural norms, and self-sabotage that shape the negotiation itself.”
“The impression I got was that Michael wanted to believe that women are inferior because that made him superior. That’s understandable isn’t it? Everyone wants to feel powerful. ”
“My first reaction to a thorny money issue involving difficult people: find an alternate route, a way of avoiding fear and confrontation. Then I remember I don’t need to do that: I can face the twists, turns, and uncertainties.”
“Not enough has changed since 1998: women are underrepresented in some industries and overrepresented in others, namely part-time work in the service industries.”
“There is so much to be said about making decisions from the heart rather than just the head.
What’s even better is when we can augment that with concrete supportive data to substantiate our stance.”
