On Int'l Women's Day, a Look at the Gender Wage Gap
Happy International Women’s Day!
This year, the day’s focus is on global gender party. According to internationalwomensday.com, “The World Economic Forum predicted in 2014 that it would take until 2095 to achieve global gender parity. Then one year later in 2015, they estimated that a slowdown in the already glacial pace of progress meant the gender gap wouldn't close entirely until 2133.”
So just how bad is the gender wage gap? Here’s a look at the data through Tableau Public vizzes.
