The World Economic Forum on their report of the gender pay gap, says that “based on current trends women will not receive equal pay until 2133”. The addition of women to the workforce hasn’t really helped our cause for equality, they say women are making what men made in 2006. According to their report the United States is not even in the top 10 countries with the smallest pay gap. They say even though women are attending college more than men this isn’t translating into women going into high skilled and leadership positions. Only countries that have more women in leadership positions than men is Columbia, Fiji and the Philippines. They say that unless we change “the culture around the division of labor at home women will always have an extra burden” (BBC) and progress made by women have stalled in the pass few years.
