March 8 marks the 108th anniversary of International Women’s Day (IWD), “a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.” As part of Women’s History Month—which stems from a group of New York women factory workers protesting for better working conditions on this day in 1857—March 8 was first recognized and observed as International Women’s Day in 1909.
How do women in the labor force differ around the world? Recent Pew Research Center analysis of 2010-2016 labor force statistics from 114 nations reveals that women comprise at least 40 percent of the workforce in over 80 countries.
Tech giant Intel recently released its Diversity & Inclusion Annual Report 2016, detailing the state of women and minorities within the company. While the report makes clear that the overall increase of underrepresented minorities in Intel’s U.S. workforce was small—reaching 12.5 percent in 2016, up from 12.3 percent in 2014—the company achieved 100 percent pay parity and promotion parity for both women and underrepresented minorities.
Despite the amazing progress of the past century, women continue to struggle with a lack of pay parity. Currently, women working full-time earn just 80 cents for every dollar a man earns—that’s $10,470 less annually—and the elimination of the gender pay gap has largely stalled over the past 15 years. A recent Wells Fargo report delves in to the real reasons women are still paid less than men.
The month of March is Women’s History Month, dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the central role of women in American history. Women’s History Month began as Women’s History Week in 1981 and was observed as such until 1986. Beginning in 1987, resulting from petitions from the National Women’s History Project, Congress extended the week to a month. Every year, Congress passes a resolution for Women’s History Month, and the president issues a proclamation.
