Sample Essay on Gender Income Inequality in America
Like any other nation, America has played great roles in eradication of
gender inequality in the world. Income disparity is an issue that has
been creating a lot of fuss. No one wants to languish in poverty and
nothing hurts than being denied a right to make a fortune by the end of
the day. Income inequality has grown considerably since the early
1970s in America. It has been one of the core subjects of study of many
scholars and learning institutions. For America, income inequality has
been a menace that no tool can easily destroy.
The United States has consistently exhibited higher rates of income
inequality that most of the developed countries. This has been linked
to America’s enhanced support of free market capitalism and it varies
from one state to another. For instance, it has been greatest in Texas in
2009 and lowest in Maine. This vast growth in income disparity has
been varying between the middle class and top earners. This state of
inequality has also widened with wealth distribution amongst the state
There is a complex history on income disparity in America, and many
scholars have come out clear on the issue providing facts and
exceptional details on the disturbing issue. Essentially, the level of
income in US has fluctuated every decade. In early 20th
century when it
was easy to get income statistics, the economic arc from high inequality
to relative inequality and vice-versa was boundless. This was an era
when wealth people like Rockefeller and Carnegies ruled the America
economy waves.
At the time, the richest 1% of the Americans would make an income of
about 18%. The first era of inequality lasted roughly from post-civil war
era until around 1937. Income disparity also dropped further and fell
dramatically, but during the Second World War, incomes of the poor
and the working class raised, but it was not a rainy year for the top
earners in the nation. This made the middle class society of the low
level inequality to remain stable for a number of decades. On top of
this, wages remained high because of the influence of the western
competition in manufacturing companies, due to lack of low skilled
workers and strong trade unions.
The return of great divergence or high income inequality began in
1970s. Studies conducted by many researchers showed that income
grew more unequal almost consistently during the recession era.
Income inequality in America has been influenced by factors such as
average age, number of breadwinners, family sizes and other
demographic traits. The inequality of a college or university graduate
and a 55-year-old at the highest point of his or her career should be a
big issue if the graduate is following the same profession path. Many
researchers have focused on the mistakes of household income as a
measure of standard of living in order to argue that income inequality is
growing.
Luckily, it is clear that growing inequality in income cam be explained in
part by the increased participation of women in the workforce without
any discrimination. Income inequality was also compared depending on
the amounts obtained from one state to another. International
comparison also aided in the income disparity research and it came out
clear that AMERICA had one of the highest income inequalities as of
2006 among high income countries. Taxation and transfers, education,
incentives, race and gender difference were also mentioned by many
scholars and researchers as the mainstay causes of inequality in the
United States.
