“…They proved that this disparity happened due to childbirth during the middle of women's careers. Liu et al (2022) have firmly declared that men, especially in OECD (The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) countries, show a tendency to receive more income than women in terms of educational achievement. Based on Alkadry and Tower (2006), this study shows that there are challenges that decrease the probability of women climbing up the ladder than men, which also leads to different promotions despite being in the same field.…”

“…Gender disparity is an issue that still exists, especially in terms of social and economic in this modern working environment. Researchers widely discuss it (Lee & Kray, 2021;Liu et al, 2022), even though there are strategies to reduce gender inequality. For instance, the EU has a strategy regarding gender equality and has made several improvements (European Commission, 2022).…”

“…This inequality has many forms, including the different wages between women and men (Das & Mondal, 2022). According to Liu et al (2022), the difference lies in which men earn more money than women do in most nations and professions. However, there are laws for gender wage equality that have been set in numerous countries (Grund, 2015); among them are the laws applied in Europe, Article 157 TFEU (the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union).…”

Various studies have shown that there exist gender-related inequalities in employee compensation. Yet, individuals may also develop affective and behavioural outcomes based on their perceptions of whether they experience such inequalities or observe such inequalities (dis) favouring others. This paper seeks to examine the different factors that could be linked to individuals' pay gap perceptions. The study aims to analyze how demographic factors can significantly impact individuals' perceptions of the pay gap by looking at the relationship between the two variables, where the demographic factors are the independent variable and the perceptions become the dependent variable. The survey was made by adapting from two previous studies about gender discrimination. Hypotheses were tested by utilizing a hierarchical linear regression through SPSS with a sample size of 217 participants from 3 continents: Europe, Asia, and America. Findings showed that gender, age, marital status and equity sensitivity are significantly linked to pay gap perceptions. Specifically, the study found that individuals reported higher pay gap discrimination against their own gender and benefitting the opposite gender. The limitations of this study include its small sample size and cross-sectional design, which affects the generalizability of its findings. This research contributes to the literature on employee compensation, as it features some factors that are linked to individual pay gap perceptions. Theoretically, the paper suggests that self-serving bias and gender role theories potentially influence individuals’ wage and justice perceptions. The paper also provides insights that could help HR professionals design better compensation and communication practices.

“…Hao Cuihong and Li Jianmin (2018) et al measured technological progress with the provincial technological progress variable to test the impact of technological progress on gender wage gap [6] . Suqin Ge and Yu Zhou (2020), Wang Beibei (2022), and Huacong Liu et al (2022) used the use of robots and computers as a variable to study the impact of technological progress on gender wage gap [7][8][9] . While Qi Yudong and Liu Cuihua (2020), Feng Xiliang et al ( 2021) and others in recent years have studied the impact of internet use on gender wage gap [10][11] .…”

The concept of wage propensity coefficient is introduced, a mathematical model is established to accurately measure the gender wage propensity index, and a regression model is further established to analyze the impact of technological progress on gender wage gap by using the big data of China's urban employed population and wages. The results found that technological progress and the proportion of urban female employed persons to all urban employed persons are important factors affecting the gender wage gap in urban areas, and the female wage propensity index increases with the increase of technological progress, and decreases with the increase of the proportion of urban female employed persons to all urban employed persons. Among them, technological progress has a greater impact, for every one-point increase in technological progress, the wage propensity index of women increases by 5.15%. Technological progress has helped to increase the wage propensity index of employed women, thereby contributing to the reduction of the gender wage gap. It is suggested that, firstly, the influence of women's own characteristics such as education and years of working experience should be improved; secondly, women's employment should be promoted, and the proportion of urban women employed in the total number of urban employed persons should be expanded; and thirdly, the simultaneous improvement of women's employment and wages should be ensured, and technological advancement should be strengthened even more.

“…According to Andereas Schleicher the OECD's numeracy ability is the best protection against unemployment, low income, and poor health. The results of research by (Received:14-4-2022; Reviewed: 16-4-2022;Revised: 24-05-2022;Accepted: 22-06-2022;Published: 29-07-2022) Huacong Liu, Frank Fernandez, and Gregor Dutz (2022) state that there is a positive relationship to someone who has the numeracy ability to increase their wages. Then, the results of the research of Valerie F. Reyna, et all.…”

This study maps numeracy-based mathematics material through mathematics writing activities for 30 days. There are 4 (four) components of numeracy literacy, namely algebra, numbers, geometry and measurement, and data and uncertainty. This type of research is a case study with a qualitative descriptive approach. The research subjects are PGSD students in the fourth semester of the 2021/2022 Academic Year who have taken the Introduction to Basic Mathematics and Geometry and Measurement courses in elementary schools comprising of 3 classes. Data collection techniques use observation, interviews, and documentation with data analysis techniques, namely a) data collection, b) data condensation, c) data presentation, and d) data verification. To guarantee the correctness of the results of the study, techniques are carried out: a) the persistence of observers, which is carried out seriously and continuously and b) triangulation. The results of the study found that the material, that most students presented in mathematics writing activities was Geometry and Measurement with an average percentage of 46.5%, because it was found in many daily lives and was easy to describe in writing. Meanwhile, with an average percentage of 1.67% in Algebraic material which is the least written material for students because it requires accuracy in determining variables.
