Recent research has shown that within the European Union the largest
difference between the earnings of men and women exists in the UK. Many
equal rights campaigners believe that immediate action should be taken to
close the gender pay gap.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?
Researchers have recently revealed that within the European Union, the UK has
the greatest gender pay gap. Supporters of the equal rights movement urge people
to take action to eliminate this difference in income between males and females,
whereas others object this sudden change. This essay discusses both sides of the
debate, followed by my personal opinion.
Advocates of equal earnings of men and women base their arguments on two main
reasons. To commence, the closing of the gender pay gap will encourage female
labor and benefit the economy as a whole. As women feel like their work is
valued, they are bound to increase their productivity and dedication, resulting in
better quality human resources for corporations and ultimately stimulating the
growth of the economy. Moreover, the increase in the number of financially
independent women also reduces poverty, minimizing the burden on the budget of
the nation. Furthermore, by taking actions to narrow the gender pay gap, one is
promoting social justice, which is essential for the development of the community.
For instance, a female has a passion for astronomy, a male dominant field can now
feel welcomed to join and contribute her talent to our world. Although few people
are aware, the person who wrote the coding for spaceships that took humans to the
moon was a woman, providing/offering/establish a compelling evidence for why
social justice is crucial for the progress of mankind.
However, opponents of paying women equal wage insist that it is challenging to
immediately close the gender pay gap. Firstly, such sudden change in economic
infrastructure could put a strain on the country’s resources, leading to/causing the
reduction in workforce. This could cause protests and unwanted controversies.
Additionally, rewarding males and females equally could lead to the neglect of
children. Since women are more motivated to pursue their career, their children
would receive much less attention, which is disadvantageous to their upbringing.
In conclusion, I agree with the advocates for closing the gender pay gap, as by
doing so, not only females, but our entire society benefits on various aspects.

However, the process of paying women and men equally should be carried out
moderately to avoid unnecessary difficulties.
