New players cant deal with that many emotes . Overwhelming . <| sep |> Whilst I agree with your statement the argument here isn ' t that . Correct me if I ' m wrong but isn ' t the story about industrial scale discrimination due to perception rather than person vs person ? The thousands of men and women in caring positions all likely earn relatively the same amounts which after factoring in the above will erase any pay gap , but the argument here is that the industry as a whole is underpaid for the effort and quality of work due to the majority of participants being women . The private sector has an inherent bias towards paying the lowest cost possible for productservices to earn the most money which is basic capitalism . What the government will likely be doing will be to assess whether the % in difference of pay is due to discrimination or simply reflective of the value of the work . Without having any stats on hand I ' d wager the caring positions are likely underpaid for the value they provide , given that we underpay doctors .
