Document Summary

Equality: provide the same platform (everyone get the same start) Equity: providing the same opportunity (everyone gets the same opportunities) Not everyone has equal opportunity for education for a number of reasons. Women are being better educated than men>problem: we need high education for everyone. Problem is socialization of boys- tells them that to be a man means to be competitive, aggressive, etc (hegemonic masculinity: ideal masculinity) Women"s jobs are less secure (tenure track) Unable to advance because of their female expectations at home. Senior payments vs junior payments- women are coming in later than men (wage gap) Women predominate in education, health sciences, visual and performing arts, communications technologies, social and behavioural sciences, and law. Men predominate in architecture, engineering, mathematics, and computer and information sciences programs. Women take are taking more loans and take longer to pay the loans ontop of juggling part- time jobs during school. There are even more women in the workforce (almost half)
