Malenon-graduateFemalenon-graduate£6/hr £14/hr £14/hr£6/hr £9/hr £10/hrPossible reason for gap in earnings: Women choose university courses andoccupations associated with lower salaries.3eSuggested answers1 According to the lecture, male and female graduates do not earn similarsalaries. The speaker in fact states that by the age of 50, female graduatescan expect pay similar to male non-graduates.2 According to the lecture, despite the fact that female students outnumbermale students, the situation is reversed in the workplace, where males makeup more than 50% of the work force.1.63f Note: In excerpt 3 below, the speaker says About 70% of all education degreesawarded in the UK in 2005 – this is slightly different from Audio 1.5, where thespeaker says About 70% of all education degrees awarded in 2005 … .Suggested answersExcerpt 11 Women are enjoying better career opportunities than ever before.2 In 2008, roughly 70% of all women in the UK were in work, compared to 80%of all UK men. Women make up about 49% of the entire UK workforce.Excerpt 21 They are able to earn a decent salary without having a university qualification.Excerpt 31 Women are concentrated in lower-prestige and lower-salary occupations thanmen because they tend to study university courses which lead them to thesecareers.2 Women took 70% of all education degrees awarded in the UK in 2005, 66%of arts and humanities degrees, and 56% of business and law degrees, about40% of science degrees, and only 25% of engineering degrees. About 25% ofall working women are employed in education, 25% are employed in publicservices.3gSuggested answers1 Women’s career opportunities are the best they have ever been / restricted bytheir choice of university course.2 Men have less incentive to go to university because they can earn a decentsalary without it.3 Women tend to earn lower salaries than men because they go into low-salaryoccupations.3h Group discussionUnit 1 Part A ∙ Understanding spoken information 12
Note: There is a deliberate flaw in the speaker’s argument about the reasons forlower pay: the speaker claims that women have lower earnings because they studycourses at university which lead to lower-salaried careers, but this obviously doesn’taccount for women who have NOT been to university.3i Group discussionSuggested answersgender discriminationcultural traditions about what courses of study / occupations are appropriatefor different gendersscience and engineering departments having an unwelcome air for femalestudentsUnit Task: The gender gapa Group discussionb Answer provided in exercise c.1.71.8cNotes on the Suggested answersMethodology/framework:The speaker uses the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) gender gapdefinition, which analyzes it via four sub-categories: Health; Economicparticipation and opportunity; Education; Political empowerment.Key informationSupporting data orstatisticsClaims about the status of women in society:Women make uphalf of world’spopulation but stillsuffer significantdisadvantagescompared to men.In health and primaryeducation, males andfemales enjoy equalityin most countries.Gender gap isreversing in tertiaryeducation.Women’s economicopportunities in theUK are not very good.None1:1 ratio males tofemales in UK primaryschools.Women have higher lifeexpectancy than men inUK.1.4 females for everymale in UK highereducation.UK ranked 35th inworld for economicopportunities.
