The Wage Gap Icelands on Board, but Where Are We

The Wage Gap Iceland's on Board, but Where Are We Photo Via: http://girltalkhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Wage-Gap-feminism-31081274-420-294.jpg According to a recent New York Times article, the wage gap has been a serious problem not only in the U.S.  but globally. That is, until now. At least, for Iceland. The country has been battling income equality for quite some time  and has recently implemented a 5-year plan to close that ever-prominent wage gap. According to Frida Ros Waldimarsdottir, chairwoman of the Icelandic Women’s Rights Association, “For decades, we’ve said we’re going to fix [the wage gap]. But women are still getting lower pay, and that’s insane.” The Icelandic government agrees. Tuesday of this week, Iceland was the first country to introduce and pass a bill that will require employers to prove men and women are being paid equally. This is a pretty radical bill, but for good reason. Bills had been pushed in the past in an effort to reduce the wage gap, but essentially, there wasn’t any change. So, the goal is to apply far more forceful tactics to achieve this daunting task. According to Thornsteinn Viglundsson, social affairs and equality minister in Iceland, “We want to break down the last of the gender barriers in the workplace. History has shown that if you want progress, you need to enforce it.” This makes Iceland a frontrunner in terms of gender equality. In the past, they have implemented gender quotas on boards and parental leave for both parents of newborns. Essentially, Iceland is one of the fairest countries out there at the moment. Still, they continue to battle the wage gap (which is reflective of how big this problem really is). According to the Icelandic government, women are earning 14 to 20 percent less than men at this point for the same job. So, the goal is to close this gap within a five-year time span, which will hopefully influence other countries to do the same. According to the International Labor Organization, the wage gap is a global issue, and if it continues to accelerate at this pace, it won’t be closed for 70 years. This bill has an “equal pay pilot program” where women are now being sought out for higher level jobs than originally hired for due to discrimination. This will definitely be a big factor in closing that gap. Of course, not everyone is in total agreement. According to Halldor Thorbergsson, director general of the Confederation of Icelandic Employers, “Companies should [impose equal pay standards] for their own benefit and the benefit of their employees. But it should not be legalized.” And Iceland isn’t the only country with individuals and businesses against government intervention. This list also includes Britain, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland and, of course, the United States. But something has to be done and women in Iceland are pushing for change not just in their country, but globally as well. In the 70s, 90 percent of working women left their jobs and their homes to show what would happen to society without women in the workforce. This then led to the world’s (yes, the world’s) first elected female president (by a democracy), Vigdis Finnbogadottir. She was elected in 1980. In the U.S., this is still not a reality. Over half of Iceland’s Parliament is now filled with female members. Women also make up 80 percent of board members in Icelandic companies. And yet, there is still inequality. Women aren’t making as much money, and they aren’t in those top-level management positions held almost exclusively by men. So what are the rules being implemented in Iceland? Iceland is going to require larger companies to undergo audits (beginning next year) to show compliance with equal pay. All businesses with over 25 employees must begin the same audits by 2022. This will be broken down by every job (low to top level positions) identifying and fixing the wage gaps for each individual occupation. Yes, this is a long, arduous process that’s going to take quite a bit of time and money. But it’s a necessary evil to correct an issue that’s been plaguing the world for far too long. According to Arni Kristinsson, managing director of BSI Iceland, “The question is, are companies committed? At firms that are, we are already seeing the pay gap narrow.” This narrowing has decreased to nearly 3 percent for some companies. According to Snorri Olsen, Iceland’s Customs director, “There’s a tendency to look at work usually done by men as more valuable. This is technically a discussion of equal pay, but it’s really a question about equality in our society.” And that’s shown in the way women act in the workforce as well. Typically, women negotiate lower salaries than their male counterparts, and men are four times more likely to ask for a raise. And even when women are comfortable in asking for a raise, they ask for 30 percent less (on average) than their male counterparts. According to board member/owner, Anna Kristin Kristjansdottir, “You’d be sitting there doing the interview, and they’d ask for less. The audit showed this was a flaw in our recruitment, that we were allowing this to happen and didn’t quite realize it.” And really, that’s what it comes down to. As a society, we are so used to valuing women’s work as less than men’s (even in seemingly equal positions) that we don’t even realize when it’s right in front of us. This is what makes closing the wage gap so difficult it’s very hard to detect without such drastic interventions as time and cost consuming audits. Again, this is about far more than a wage gap it’s about equality as a whole. And as a society, our perception of equality is completely off. Just because you feel equal doesn’t mean that’s the case. According to Viglundsson, “When it comes to the workplace, men have enjoyed a certain level of privilege for a long time. But if you look at the vested interests for society of eliminating discrimination against women, that far outweighs any regulatory burden.” Basically, we can all learn from the Icelandic government. It’s going to be a long battle, and it’s going to be costly, but in the end, it’s going to be completely worth it. An equal country in terms of gender can you imagine? One small step for Iceland, a giant leap for equality worldwide.

?? How can Technology Improve Learning

?? How can Technology Improve Learning How can Technology Improve Learning? At Tutorful, we passionately believe that technology can lead to great advances in the quality of education provision. We spoke to Atif Mahmood, Founder of Lumici Slate, who gave us his take on how schools can improve learning by harnessing new technologies.Morning Atif, great to speak to you today. Firstly, can you tell us a little about Lumici Slate, the project you're working on currently?Lumici Slate is an online educational platform that enables teachers to collaboratively plan lessons online with other teachers, saving teachers up to 20 hours a week on planning. My aim was simple to increase student engagement and to save teachers hours off planning and preparation. The reason why schools are using Lumici Slate; we make it easy for teachers to create interactive and engaging lessons with learning goals attached. They can be easily shared amongst teachers in your school and edited to fit each class. With its simple and instinctive interface no training is needed and teachers can build their lesson libraries straight away. Students can take control of their learning with teachers helping to structure their learning environment. Analytics allow teachers to see the progress each student is making.With its simple and instinctive interface no training is needed and teachers can build their lesson libraries straight away. Students can take control of their learning with teachers helping to structure their learning environment. Analytics allow teachers to see the progress each student is making.Where did the idea come from? I take it that you were a teacher yourself?As a former teacher and head of department, I know workload and planning in particular is a huge issue and I want to help reduce workload. The resources market places, VLE's and Learning Platforms have just not worked and many schools and colleges are looking for a much simpler solution. The more teacher and head teachers I spoke to the more positive feedback I got about Lumici Slate and its value pro position. We saw you pitch at the recent Northern Stars event, where the audience voted for you guys as their favourite company. Why do you think people seem to take to the product?People can relate to a teacher either through a sibling, partner, parent or as a school governor. Teacher's are one of the most valuable assets we have in this country and we should understand they spend many hours extra ontop of their normal working hours to provide the best educational experience for our children. My daughter is 4 and started school very recently and I hope one day she will use Lumici Slate in her school. Aesthetically Lumici Slate looks and feels extraordinary, we have spent a lot of time and effort on the user experience and user interface design.So, is this where you see education moving to... a more technology enhanced era?Absolutely, the right technology that can become a cornerstone of any classroom instead of a barrier. Traditionally VLE's and Learning Platforms are expensive, o nly a small percentage of teachers are technical enough to use it and a huge barrier to adoption is the amount of training required. More teachers like your self and me understand the pain points of teachers, parents and students and we are starting to see web and mobile applications that are starting to have a real impact in and out the classroom. Schools and colleges are adopting and using tablet devices and Lumici Slate along with other apps provide an affective workflow solution. Following on from that, I suppose the next question is... do you think that children will continue to learn in classrooms in the future or are we moving away form that, more traditional, approach?Teachers will always be part of any educational system in any part of the world, I have no doubt. Children will still attend school but will have better technology to assist both teachers and students. Take for example ALT school in the USA, teachers are still part of the ecosystem, the only difference is techn ology is a core part of the way teachers teach and students learn, that interaction between a teacher and student is so important. Are there any other companies out there (apart from us!) who you feel are pushing the envelope in how they're using tech?I really like SAM labs, I think they are innovative and their products to help younger children learn programming are awesome.Finally, do you have any words of advice for other teachers or educators who are contemplating starting their own EdTech company?Think long term and not short term. Be prepared to nurture your customers and go the extra mile to get them onboard your journey. Sometimes you will wake up in the morning and feel you can't see the progress but you have put so much effort in, it's ok to feel like that, don't give up and keep at it. Make sure you understand the value proposition and clearly convey that to your customers.

What Is The Definition Of Chemistry?

What Is The Definition Of Chemistry?The definition of chemistry is not that hard to define. For the average person, it is usually defined as 'the science that deals with elements and compounds.' However, the definition of the term changes according to what the term is used for.Chemists are the people who research substances which are made up of certain elements. In this definition, there are three elements. One is hydrogen, which is the base element that all other elements are made of. There are also oxygen, nitrogen, and silicon.The next element is called argon, and it has the properties of oxygen, and this is the reason why it is called the second element. In the dictionary, you will see that the word argon is defined as an element that is named after a person.The next element is helium, and it is actually made up of the two elements, argon and hydrogen. The third element is xenon, and it is made up of the same elements as the first two. Oxygen is the last element in the definition of chemistry. It is what is referred to as the basic element.The definitions of the term can vary between different definitions of the term. For example, some people use the definition that chemistry is the study of chemical reactions. Other definitions use a different definition, and they say that chemistry is the study of materials. Still other definitions use a definition that talks about how atoms are the smallest units of matter, and this is the definition that is commonly used.All definitions have one common thread and that is that they all talk about the properties of chemical compounds. There are no individuals, groups, or species in this definition, but only compounds. These compounds are made up of elements, molecules, and even atoms.The definition of chemistry can be broken down into several parts. One part talks about the properties of compounds, another talks about the properties of matter, and the next part talks about the properties of atoms. It does not matter what definition you use, but you should always keep in mind that it is all about chemistry. So make sure that you use the correct term to define your definition of chemistry.

What is it Like to Attend University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

What is it Like to Attend University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teach theyre sharing their college experiences as well. Ryan is a Chicago tutor who specializes in College Essay prep tutoring, World History tutoring, Geometry, and more. He graduated from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2008 with a degree in Political Science and History. See what he had to say about his alma mater: VT: Describe the campus setting and transportation options.How urban or safe is the campus?Are there buses or do you need a car/bike? Ryan: The setting is downstate away from the hustle and bustle of the Chicago area in the quiet towns of Champaign and Urbana. It is a safe campus and the bus system is very reliable. The campus is quite large but not so spread out so that you may walk, bike, or bus around campus in a timely manner. I would not recommend a car unless you live off campus, as on-campus parking is expensive and it is difficult to find a parking spot. VT: How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Ryan: For such a large university, U of I is very personable. I found that I was able to talk to professors, AAs, and TAs whenever I needed to do so. VT: How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Ryan: U of I has the largest Greek (fraternity/sorority) system in the country. Socialization opportunities are widespread. The dorms are O.K., and they are large so that you will find that you have an increased opportunity to find your niche of friends. Many restaurants on campus, and many places deliver very late. VT: Which majors/programs are best represented and supported?What did you study and why? Did the university do a good job supporting your particular area of study? Ryan: I would have to say that U of I is best known for its Engineering and Computer Science programs. If this is your interest, a job after graduation is guaranteed. I studied Political Science and History in the Liberal Arts and Sciences College. Renowned scholars are in this area, and U of I has a world-class reputation in its LAS programs. I entered graduate school with the tools to succeed because of U of I, and am rapidly approaching attaining my PhD. VT: How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Ryan: As mentioned above, U of I has a large Greek system. I myself did not join a fraternity, as I had many friends from high school also attending U of I. I also befriended many people on my dorm floor. As U of I is a large school, I would say making friends as a freshman is easier than other schools. VT: How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services?Do many reputable companies recruit on campus? Ryan: U of I is Illinois flagship university. I cant think of a company that does not come to campus looking for employees. VT: How are the various study areas such aslibraries, student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Ryan: Libraries can get overcrowded at night, so get there early. There are plenty of them, however, so you can find your favorite! There are enough places to study. I would recommend staying away from dorm lounges, as they usually end up being social forums and you cant get much studying done. Libraries, coffee shops, and the student union are where I went to study. VT: Describe the surrounding town. What kinds of outside establishments / things to do are there that make it fun, boring, or somewhere in between?To what extent do students go to the downtown area of the city versus staying near campus? Ryan: Champaign-Urbana is a small dual-city area of about 100,000 people. It is compact and small and easy to navigate. The town offers everything that a Chicago suburb may, but other than that there is not anything that really stands out about the area. Campus is the best part of town, so I recommend staying close. Besides, you are there to study anyway, right? VT: How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Ryan: Lectures can be huge. My biggest class had nearly 800 students. However, you are also assigned a discussion section with a TA for each large class so that you can have the personal and small class setting as well. These are usually about 30 students per class. The upper-tier classes when you are a junior and senior are smaller and more personalized. VT: Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Ryan: My favorite class was a political science class with Professor Scott Althaus. It was on the science of campaigning. We did real-world statistics and marketing strategies to learn how campaign managers do what they do and win elections; a very interesting and very real-world applicable class.
