I see the average kid knows that the wage gap is fake...

The Korn Ferry Gender Pay Index analysed more than 12.3 million employees in 14,284 companies in 53 countries.

They found that men were paid on average 16.1 per cent more than women on a global level. But the gap fell to 5.3 per cent globally when evaluating the same job levels alone, such as people holding a director position. The gap was further narrowed to 1.5 per cent when considering the same level at the same company. If men and women at the same job level and in the same company were also in the same function, the gap shrank to 0.5 per cent.

"In Asia, the study found that women make, on average, 15 per cent less than their male counterparts. The average gap is widest - at 19.3 per cent - in Asia's mature markets, like Australia and New Zealand. But in Asia's growth markets like China and India, the gap is lower at 14.4 per cent; in the fast-growing markets like Indonesia and Vietnam, the gap narrows further to 11.5 per cent."

"Female employees are actually favoured in fast growing markets. Women in these markets are paid 1.3 percent more than men working at the same level at the same company. Women are paid 3.1 per cent more than men at the same level, company and function in these markets.""

If you're arguing with a feminist and you present them these stats to counter the idea that the wage gap is caused by discrimination, they have two choices: Either they can continue to cling to the idea that the residual 0.5% global gap favouring men is caused by discrimination - at which point, in order to maintain the facade of impartiality and logical consistency, they'd also have to admit that men are discriminated against and women are favoured in these fast-growing markets where they found a 3.1% gap favouring women - or, they'd have to admit that there are other additional factors that haven't been taken into account which can explain the 0.5% residual gap.

It's sad that kids that age understand society better than the average Sociology professor

The wage gap exists: yes Its caused by sexism: no Why is it caused: on average men do more overtime Men are more likely to ask for a raise

"Woman probably spend more time shopping online than working" (cheeky but okay)

"Have you ever seen that happen"?

I don't agree with your points. I do think that the stats that are normally touted on the wage gap are incorrect, and as a whole I don't believe that women are paid less than men, however this video doesn't really add anything.

This video is just an adult putting a mic in kids' faces and asking them a leading question. If you ask a kid "why is {statement X} true?" ...then of course they'll assume it is and come up with anything as a suggested reason.

My point is let's not sensationalise kids' answers, they don't know what they're talking about. Instead disprove/debate points you don't agree with using stats and facts.

I mean the gender pay gap itself isnt fake as it does exist but the reasons behind it are what the feminists will deny.
