Gender Gaps on Children Allowances Discussion

For this forum I want to focus in on Besen-Cassino’s chapter on gender pay gap for young people. First supplement the reading by reading this piece from Think Progress on gender gaps in children’s allowances.   Click here for the article 

Then I want you to either: think back to what you earned for an allowance or for work you did in your neighborhood (babysitting, lawn work) and if you have siblings, ask them what they earned.  If you don’t have siblings (or if your siblings are the same gender as you) ask friends (both male and female) of similar ages to you what they earned.  In both cases be sure to get the wages and the work they did.  Or if you are a parent who pays your children an allowance (or hires children for certain jobs) report out the work they do, their gender and what you pay.
