When I was exploring the web, I had
come across a very interesting article about women being paid less due to their
“ability to work”. I found this extremely intriguing mostly because I have
never thought about women being discriminated against by the wage they are receiving
verses men. There had been research conducted stating that for every dollar
that fathers are being paid mothers only make 69 cents. This seems almost
unlawful. Hazlitt and Block both
explored unfair pay, discrimination, and minimum wage but they never touched
point on mother to father.
In this
generation is it most common for both the mother and father to work in order to
fully support your family, although it is becoming harder and harder for
mothers to find jobs. Now in situations where you have a single mother, how is
this individual supposed to raise a family on one salary. They simply cannot,
this requires them to work several jobs at once.
We have
always seen discrimination in women verses men, but not as commonly mothers
verses fathers. This is an epidemic that needs to be stopped, we have worked so
hard to achieve means end and avoid the majority of discrimination, why would
we go back to those times, fair wage is necessary for all individuals of all
lifestyles.
