What Causes Wage Inequality for Black women

My general research question will focus on the causes of wage disparities in black women. If discrimination leads to a wage differential between black women and other people, I will review my specific research question. According to various researchers, some factors that may affect wages of black women are racial discrimination, gender discrimination, human capital, labor market (occupation / industry) and / or education. I look at all these factors, propose key points and decide which factors are most important for deciding wages and / or promotion (career development) of black women.

The average annual income of black women ($ 34,000 for full-time staff throughout the year) is behind the income of most women and men in the United States. Raising the minimum wage increases the income of black women, decreases poverty, and may reduce inequality in men and women and racial income. To force state and federal governments to raise the minimum wage and abolish the minimum wage to increase the income of black women. Black women account for a very high proportion of wage work below the minimum wage.

Black women are not included in extensive coverage of Hollywood racial inequality and gender disparity in many cases. The wage gap between black women in the entertainment world is a sign of a bigger problem: as a performer, producer, and director, invisibility and depreciation of a black woman in media culture. KimberléCrenshaw hosted a group discussion on this narrative and a solution to advertise black women as creators. The viewers exhibited by Hammer Museum can choose to participate in shows in Los Angeles and watch live events by live streaming.

Differences in wages of black women can also have negative health consequences. Due to unfair payment and low wages, many black women can not join health insurance and access to health care is restricted. Furthermore, other people have to choose between taking medical care and paying salary. More than one third of employed black women have no right to get paid sick leave. In 2013, compared to 13% white women, 22% black women are not insured until they fulfill some of the main provisions of 2010 Patient Protection and Price Treatment Act (ACA) did. In 2014, 16.5% of non-black women were not enrolled in health insurance
