Young women are the solution
Women are the most educated cohort in the U.S., obtaining 58% of bachelor’s degrees yet are not promoted and compensated at the same rates as men. The compounded effect of this “broken rung” impacts the leadership pipeline and culture of every organization, employee engagement and retention and the livelihoods of women.
Equipt refers to this perpetual cycle as the trifecta of inequities
Less Opportunity
In 2020, women received 38% of entry-level manager promotions while men received 62%.
McKinsey & Company, 2021
Less Pay
Women make $0.88 for every dollar a man works, and the numbers are far less for women of color. Women ages 25-34 are closing the gap at $0.93.
US Bureau of Labor, 2020
Less Wealth
Women hold ⅔ of the student debt but have ⅓ of the total wealth that men do.
