Paper Instructions:

Because they make up approximately half of the available pool of talent, it is not surprising that women are the focus of many diversity initiatives around the world.

In light of this global focus on women, you will research gender pay equity differences in four different countries, including the United States. Try to select countries from different regions. Then, prepare either a paper or a presentation to report your findings. The paper or presentation should include the following:

A brief summary of gender income inequality for each country
Statistics: what is the gender pay gap?
Explanations for the root causes of the pay inequity in that country
Any national laws that exist to prohibit pay equity differences
An examination of how the four countries compare and contrast with one another.

Formatting
Style (paper or presentation)

Papers should include an introduction paragraph, well-developed and supported body paragraphs that address the assigned topics, and a conclusion paragraph. For more information on how to organize and develop your paper, see Paper Structure (Links to an external site.).

Presentations should be appropriate for an executive audience and use PowerPoint, Prezi, or similar software. Include speaker notes on each slide. These notes should reflect what you would say if you were presenting the content to a live, executive audience; do not simply duplicate the bullets of the slide. For more information on how to create a professional presentation, see Tips for Effective Presentations.

Length:

Papers should be 2-3 pages in length, not including the title or references pages. Points will be deducted for papers that exceed the specified length. (See rubric below for more details.)

Presentations should be approximately 5 slides (not including title and reference slides), and include speaker notes for each slide. Points will be deducted for presentations that exceed the specified length. (See rubric below for more details.)
