essay on glass ceiling salary and women

The gender pay gap is a major factor in women’s economic security, and has been an issue of much debate and discussion in recent years. Glass ceiling salaries refer to the idea that women are not paid the same as men, even when they are equally qualified and do the same job. This phenomenon has been well documented and is one of the major issues contributing to the gender pay gap.


In order to effectively address the glass ceiling salary issue, it is important to understand why it exists in the first place. One of the primary reasons for the gap is based on discrimination, both overt and subtle. Women are often passed over for promotions or higher-paying positions, and this can lead to them earning significantly less than their male counterparts. Additionally, women are often underpaid for the same job, or are paid less than men with less experience.


Another factor contributing to the glass ceiling salary issue is the lack of flexible work options. Women often have to choose between working full-time and part-time, and face more obstacles when taking time off for parenting or other family responsibilities. This can lead to women losing out on promotions or higher-paying positions, as well as having to take lower-paying jobs that do not match their qualifications.

Moreover, the lack of women in leadership roles in certain industries, or in the upper echelons of organizations, can also contribute to a glass ceiling salary. Women are often under-represented in senior management positions and other decision-making roles, and this can leave them with fewer opportunities to earn higher salaries.


Finally, societal expectations can also play a role in the glass ceiling salary issue. Women are often expected to take on more family responsibilities than men, and this can lead to them having to work fewer hours or take on lower-paying jobs. Additionally, women may also face stigma from employers or colleagues if they ask for higher salaries or more flexible work options.


Overall, the glass ceiling salary issue is an important and complex issue that needs to be addressed. To effectively address the issue, employers must be aware of the factors contributing to the wage gap, and take steps to ensure that women are paid fairly for their work. Additionally, society must also challenge traditional gender roles and stereotypes, and ensure that women have equal access to leadership roles, flexible working arrangements and other opportunities. Only when these steps are taken can we begin to close the gender pay gap and ensure that women are paid the same as their male counterparts.


In conclusion, it is important to recognize that the gender pay gap is a complex issue that will take time to resolve. However, with the proper steps and commitment, we can make progress towards closing the gap, and ensuring that women are paid the same as men for the same work.


support your argument with relevant examples:


One example of a company that has taken steps to bridge the gap is Microsoft. The company has implemented several initiatives to ensure that women are paid fairly, including conducting an internal salary review to identify any discrepancies, creating a dedicated “Pay Equity Office” to address any potential issues, and introducing a “Pay Equity Pledge” to ensure that all employees are paid equitably. Additionally, the company has also implemented a “Reverse Mentoring” program, wherein senior leaders are paired with junior female employees to ensure that the company is taking steps to ensure that women are given equal opportunities in the workplace.


Another example of a company that is taking steps to bridge the glass ceiling salary issue is Google. The company has implemented a “Women in Leadership” program, which is designed to ensure that women are given equal opportunities in the workplace, and have access to the same resources as their male counterparts. Additionally, the company has also implemented a “Pay Equity Program”, which is designed to ensure that all employees are paid equitably for the same work.


These examples demonstrate that companies are taking steps to bridge the gender pay gap and ensure that women are paid the same as their male counterparts. It is important that other companies also take similar steps to ensure that all employees are given equal opportunities and resources, and that everyone is paid equitably for their work.

Different types of timber support

Image
Different types of timber supports  Timber props  Timber placed normally between the roof and floor of roadways, etc. in coal mines is called timber prop. Timber prop in metal mines is sometimes called stull. A timber prop when erected in a mine to support the roof should yield slightly under the roof weight. The timber prop is strongest when the load acts parallel to its length; a prop as such is almost unyielding but a certain yield is obtained by; a) tapering it at the foot or top, or b) and providing a lid at the top as a compressible cushion between the roof and the end of the prop. In flat seams the prop is erected vertical, and in inclined seams, axis of the prop should be normal to the dip of the seam. The prop then offers the maximum resistance to the roof. A prop which is so set that its axis is between the vertical and the normal to the seam is known as and underset prop. Erection of underset props is not common as it is not possible for the timberman to judge wh

Timber support for different places in mine

Image
Timber support in coal mine Side Support:  Wooden laggings are placed tight between vertical props and pillar where the sides are weak and need support. Sometimes the timber set of prop and bar has to resist pressure from sides which tend to crush into the roadways. Notching is useful in such cases. The props should be set at an angle of 14° to 20° off the vertical and the feet well sunk into the floor. An alternative method of resisting side pressure is to sink the props well into the floor and to reinforce the timber-set by an additional bar or stretcher (dotted bar in fig), which may be nailed to the props. As this reduces effective height of roadway, its use may not be advisable in roadways of less than 2 m height, used by basket loaders. Reinforced Timber set or chockmate Notched Prop Support of a Roadway:  Where the roof of a roadway is bad over some distance bars resting in holes of coal pillars and tightened against the roof by wooden laggings may be erected

Option –  the right to buy or sell a futures contract at a particular price. The right to buy a futures contract is called a Call Option. The right to sell a futures contract is called a Put Option. The price chosen for which to buy or sell is called the Strike Price. The price paid for the right is called the Option Premium. Example of Call option order: Buy one contract November wheat call - €250 strike at €15 premium. Call Option  A contract which gives the purchaser the right, though not the obligation, to purchase the underlying security at a specific price within a specific time frame Suppose the Infosys is currently trading at INR 900. A trader thinks that the current price of Infosys is undervalued and expected to increase in the future. In this case, he buys the call option of Infosys and pays a premium to the call seller. Suppose the price of Infosys increases to INR 1000 at expiry. Then the buyer will exercise the option since he has the right to exercise. In this c

Unconformity-Related Uranium Deposit

Image
Unconformity-Related Uranium Deposits definition: Unconformity [ŭn′kən-fôr′mĭ-tē] A surface between successive strata representing a missing interval in the geologic record of time, produced either by an interruption in deposition or by the erosion of depositionally continuous strata followed by renewed deposition. An unconformity is a type of discontinuity.  or: An unconformity is time gap in the rock record between two rock units where the lower unit may be deformed, brecciated or altered and the overlying units are less deformed. Uranium deposits can occur in the underlying or overlying units. In the underlying units, there may be a weathering zone, fault zone or some other feature that increases the rocks porosity and permeability. In the overlying units, it may be the sandstones or some other features that allows the concentration of uranium.  Uranium unconformity deposits are generally associated with structures in sedimentary rocks that reflect the erosion surface

Sandstone uranium deposits

Image
 Sandstone uranium deposits Uranium deposits hosted in Sandstone, occur in medium to coarse-grained sandstones deposited in a continental fluvial or marginal marine sedimentary environment. Impermeable shale/mudstone units are interbedded in the sedimentary sequence and often occur immediately above and below the mineralized sandstone. Uranium precipitated under reducing conditions caused by a variety of reducing agents within the sandstone including: carbonaceous material (detrital plant debris, amorphous humate, marine algae), sulphides (pyrite, H2S), hydrocarbons (petroleum), and interbedded basic volcanics with abundant ferro-magnesian minerals (eg chlorite). There are five main sub-types of sandstone deposits, often mixed: Basal channel deposits – wide channels filled with permeable sediments. Examples are Dalur and Khiagda (Russia), and Beverley and Honeymoon (South Australia). Tabular deposits – irregular, elongate lenticular bodies parallel to the depositional trend,

Roof support in underground coal mine

Image
Roof support in underground coal mines Roof support in underground mines is used: To prevent major collapses of the mine roof; To protect miners from small rock falls that can occur from the immediate roof skin; To control deformations so that mine openings remain serviceable for both access and escape, as well as for ventilation of the mine workings Ensure continuity of ore production to avoid shortage in profit.  Finally, keeping expensive machines in the underground mines safe (e.g. machines used in long wall mining. When do we need to support mines? If there are weak or unconsolidated parts of rocks are present in the roof and walls of mines.  If there some geologic structures (e.g. shear zone) that weaken rocks.  If there are voids and spaces in the rocks. If there are some clay beds that can shrink and expand due to its swelling property, and hence sliding of rocks in presence of water can be expected. If there are underground water that helps in chemical wea
