Numbers don’t lie, but sometimes they don’t tell the full story.
- Girls receive 22% less allowance than boys for doing the same chores (BusyKid), setting the stage for financial inequities before they even enter the workforce.
- And that gap only widens—women in the U.S. still earn, on average, 82 cents for every dollar a man makes (Pew Research Center), a number that hasn’t significantly improved in two decades.
- Yet, when companies commit to pay transparency, the gender pay gap shrinks by nearly 40% (World Economic Forum), proving that structural change—not just individual negotiation—is the key to equity.
- And still, at the current rate of progress, it will take 132 years to close the global gender pay gap (World Economic Forum), meaning entire generations of women will continue to face financial disadvantage simply because of their gender.
At PinPoint, we know that systemic inequities don’t just disappear with time—they require intentional action. That’s why we advocate for research that not only surfaces gender disparities but also provides the tools to dismantle them. Because pay equity isn’t just about fairness; it’s about economic growth, opportunity, and ensuring that girls growing up today don’t inherit the same financial disadvantages of the past.
Change starts with awareness—but it can’t stop there.
