Women's low wages, threaten our welfare
"Women's low wages, threaten our well-being,"

"the Vision: the Policy does everyone a disservice by pushing this issue in front of them."

"This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against."

"the DEBATE. It should be a matter of course in 2019 salary shall be based on professional competence and not on gender or where you work. But the truth is, there are thousands of dollars in salary each month between an information officer or an IT technician who works in the female-dominated welfare, compared with the same occupational groups in the male-dominated private sector. "

"the Vision has calculated how much three comparable professions lose in the capital to work in a sector where the majority are women, compared with in a sector where the majority are men. The calculations have been made based on Statistics sweden's wage statistics for professions informatöru002Fkommunikatör, IT - technician and the HR manager. "

"the Comparison shows that the wages are significantly lower in workplaces and occupations where the majority are women. It is different thousands of dollars each month between working in a woman-dominated sector compared to working in a male-dominated. And it affects all employees, both men and women. "

"We have also looked at how the wage affects the pension. It turns out that the structural gender pay gap continues to affect the income for life. "

"the greatest is the pay differential for an IT technician who works in a municipality. The Hen loses approximately 4.3 million during its 30 years in business and over 20 years as a pensioner. This is due to of that the IT engineer working in a woman-dominated sector, and not in a male-dominated. The same calculations of the life income for a HR manager as well as a informatöru002Fkommunikatör, show differences of approximately sek 2.9 million, respectively, approximately 2.9 million. "

"the pay gap is structural, which means that they can not be explained by factors such as the different requirements of the work, performance, responsibility, or other reasons. "

"the Declaration is, above all, that women and men work in different parts of the labour market and in the various professions. And that sectors and occupations where women are in the majority, are valued lower."

"This is, of course, totally unreasonable and very dated. In addition, the risk there to put a spanner in the works for the future skills supply in the sector. Welfare is crying out for labour, and to try to attract new employees while at the same time continue to accept the gender inequality of wages is contrary to all logic. "

"So what needs to be done? A common responsibility is on us partners, namely the unions and the employers, to agree on fair and attractive wages and conditions. The municipalities and the regions is also determined by the local politicians and this role has all the capabilities to create the conditions for equal pay. "

"the idea is to ensure that employees in the female-dominated welfare receive such large increases in wages that we will be closer to equal pay. "

"When employees receive a salary based on their skills, their professional competence and their performance on the job, the outcome is higher. And when employees are given the right conditions to make a good performance at work, will also the profession that are valued higher in the labor market. "

"In the day of battle all the sectors more or less about the same labor. There is a clear risk that women and men will opt out of public jobs as long as they lose out on it financially. "

"such A development would be devastating for the supply of expertise in the social services, healthcare or dental care, where we already have major problems to man the operations. "

"this Policy is doing all a disservice by pushing this issue in front of them. A way to take responsibility for the future of welfare is to solve the embarrassing problem of gender inequality wages now."
