Gender Pay Gap

LI: to complete the teaser activities
This is a teaser activity from the Summer Learning Journey. The topic for this years Summer Learning Journey is Changemakers. This task is about the Gender Pay Gap controversy. The Gender Pay Gap is when men and women do the same job but the one of the genders have a higher pay. An example is the New Zealand Black Ferns which is the NZ national Womens Rugby Team. They are a very successful team having won a recordn five Rugby World Cups. Even though they are super successful they have only just become professional rugby players who get paid. But they still get paid less then the mens rugby team. So this task is to talk about he Gender Pay Gap in sport and what I think of it.

I think that the Gender Pay Gap isn't fair. Just because they are a different gender they shouldn't be paid less. If Women and Men did the same sport or job they still should be paid equally. For example what if the womens team were more successful then the mens team, but the men still got paid more. That wouldn't be fair. Women work just as hard as men so they should be able to get paid equally.
