Depression in females linked to pay gap

A report has uncovered that the gender pay gap is one of the chief causes of negative emotions in women which can also be identified as depression, according to a report in today’s City AM.

In the UK women earn 80p for every £1 earned by men.  The World Economic Forum estimates to close the global pay gap will take 118 years.  This clearly does not only affect women in England but also  the rest of Europe and genuinely  further afield.

Men are bigger than women and therefore food for their weekly groceries could be more expensive than for women.  However, women have to pay extra for fashionable clothes, glamorous toiletries and other items which are part of the bill of the fertile ovulating female, which keeps her happy, nice looking, healthy  and content.

Regarding depression – women are almost twice as vulnerable to the condition as men and Columbia University has linked the symptom to the pay gap. Mood disorders and other aforementioned conditions are four times as likely to be discovered in women, and 2.5 more people with pay issues are likely to be psychologically affected.  This leads one to surmise that this incorporates worries about paying bills and maintaining a good lifestyle together with good looks, beauty treatments and hairdo’s and cuts and a happy social life.

22,000 USA adults both in full and part time work were analysed who were with a  similar work and education background.
