At Extreme Investor Network, we understand the importance of achieving financial equality and empowerment for all individuals, regardless of gender or ethnicity. That’s why we’re diving deep into the topic of the gender pay gap, specifically focusing on Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AAPI) women.
March 12 marks equal pay day for women, highlighting how far into the new year women must work to earn what their male counterparts typically made the previous year. For AAPI women, this date extends even further, with some groups needing to work until April 3 to make the same pay as white men earned the year before. This highlights a significant disparity in pay, with AAPI women typically earning just 93 cents for every dollar paid to white men.
The wage gap varies among AAPI groups, with some women facing significant disadvantages. For example, Bhutanese women working full-time earn just 49 cents for every dollar that white men earn. Over a 40-year career, an AAPI woman starting out today could lose $187,616 due to the wage gap, with some groups facing losses of over $1 million in their lifetime.
At Extreme Investor Network, we believe that addressing the wage gap is crucial for the financial well-being of all individuals. Initiatives like the Paycheck Fairness Act and pay transparency laws aim to eliminate pay discrimination and promote pay equity for all workers. By implementing multiple strategies, we can work towards closing the gap and ensuring equal pay for equal work.
