Webinar Recording: Intersectionality and Pay Equity for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islanders
May 24, 2024Read the key takeaways from this webinar.
According to the National Women’s Law Center, in 2022 Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women earned, on average, 80 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men. But that wage gap can very wildly among subgroups of AANHPI women. For example, Bhutanese women in the United States were paid less than half (49%) of their white male peers’ earnings — a net loss of almost 1.5 million dollars over the course of a 40-year career.
Overcoming the dual hurdles of racial and gender bias in pay may seem like a tall order, but acknowledging the issue provides organizations with an exciting opportunity to evaluate their own pay gaps and advance the mission of workplace equity from multiple angles and perspectives. Companies pursuing full pay equity for all AANHPI women will need to be proactive, transparent, and take risks along the way.
Watch this webinar to hear our panel of experts discuss:
- Stories of overcoming discrimination and bias against AANHPI women in the workplace
- Tools and roadmaps for evaluating pay equity within your own organization.
- Strategies and programs to support AANHPI women at work and equalize earnings at every level.
