  1. So my research project is on the Equality for a woman
  2. in today's society.
  3. There are numerous laws that have allowed for a
  4. woman to be more involved in the workforce,
  5. although companies are now giving unfair disadvantages to them compared to men.
  6. For example,
  7. Taylor Swift has been battling her record label
  8. Big machine label group for all ownership,
  9. in which her record company sold her music and gave ownership
  10. to another company called A Taco Holdings without her consent.
  11. And she's only one example,
  12. out of millions of women who have to face these issues in the workplace,
  13. discrimination against women in this industry has
  14. forced women to have to deal with unfair
  15. employment issues such as lower wages and unsafe
  16. conditions by bringing awareness to the employers.
  17. Um the work industry will become safer for a woman
  18. if there are more women who are employed while also being treated equally.
  19. The economy will be stronger with the diversity of opinion in the workforce.
  20. The first issue takes place in china where
  21. in the workforce women are being employed,
  22. the labor demand is decreasing, but so is the pay.
  23. It is not for men, but for a woman instead.
  24. Even though there are getting jobs now,
  25. they aren't getting the pay that they deserve.
  26. In an article, it claims that according to China's National Bureau of Statistics,
  27. woman make up approximately 45% of the country's workforce.
  28. But on average the salary of a working Chinese woman
  29. is 74% less than that of a man's wage.
  30. This creates issues such as slowing down the reform movement in china,
  31. which only leads to more discrimination against women.
  32. Both of these quotes um mentioned that women
  33. are only below 50% of the total workforce
  34. As far as an equal pay in China, realistically it would not be possible.
  35. But the argument could stand to raise women's pay at least 5% more than what it is
  36. currently raising their pay from 75% to 80% that of months of a man's regular pay.
  37. The goal would be to start slow in which
  38. the government has already established the equal work equal pay
  39. law to analyze discrimination more closely.
  40. So part of the solution could be to reinforce it upon the citizens. Again,
  41. the second issue takes place in the United States
  42. where there are unsafe work conditions for employees.
  43. For example, in the NFL,
  44. cheerleaders are not considered to be under the membership.
  45. Basic safety rights
  46. in the workplace.
  47. They were also to a deer to specific clothing
  48. and behavioral guidelines that were set by the team.
  49. Not only this,
  50. but a group of
  51. cheerleaders called The Jills were required to sign
  52. an agreement that states that they would not
  53. be paid for a game that they were working at violating the Fair Labor Standards Act.
  54. They would not be able to take action without getting suspended
  55. by the organization even though they tried to sue the NFL.
  56. Not only this,
  57. but Jill cheerleaders were also auctioned off
  58. like prices while serving as bought persons.
  59. They were subjected to inappropriate touching and degrading
  60. these different.
  61. These two quotes are from different articles,
  62. but they go together because of the idea that
  63. cheerleaders are going through the exact same situation where
  64. they are publicly harassed through a demotion, retaliation and integration.
  65. One solution can be to create policies in which most women fall under the category of
  66. such as requirements of having two or more Children
  67. are having a parent with a medical condition.
  68. This can even stretch the divorce or single mothers who can apply for the policy.
  69. That can lead to the idea that if most women who fall under the certain policy
  70. that it should fall under
  71. every woman
  72. and should be open to everybody.
  73. These can be a start to further establishments
  74. of more equality between men and women.
  75. In terms of remaining safe.
  76. An example of a campaign that has helped women remain safe and bring attention
  77. to the judges is the Me Too campaign so it is not completely impossible
  78. to help with campaigns and protests
  79. to keep women safe.
  80. My opponent might
  81. say that woman will be less present for
  82. household duties and the raising of Children.
  83. But in some households it is necessary for women to be able to go out and work,
  84. especially single mothers and mothers who are divorced.
  85. But this plan is very cost effective and will be more accommodating for the society.
  86. Gender equality in the workforce can improve manufacturing productivity,
  87. productivity growth
  88. and overall improved the economy
  89. More specifically,
  90. if there is more equality than it could lead to more
  91. hospitality and professionalism and also guarantee a healthy career path,
  92. it is safer and more beneficial for the society as well.
