Agenda Austria with an extremely problematic image of women – 2024-02-14 01:15:36

ÖGB-Schumann: “Institute must live in a parallel universe. Because in our country, women still have no freedom of choice when it comes to jobs and families. Apologies due.”

Vienna (OTS) – “Instead of flowers, women should be given pure wine. That’s exactly how we see it too. Women should be told that the federal government is doing nothing to make job and family more compatible. “Agenda Austria either lives in a parallel universe or has an extremely problematic image of women,” comments Korinna Schumann, Vice President and Women’s Chair of the ÖGB, in a tweet from the research institute “Agenda Austria”. It emphasizes that women are less likely to do equal work due to personal life decisions earn more than men. “This tweet is a mockery of women in this country,” continued Schumann.

Schumann points to a number of facts that prove the opposite of the “Agenda Austria” presentation. The reality of life for women is therefore completely different. “The unequal treatment begins in the apprenticeship,” says Schumann. In sectors that are run by men are dominated, there are higher apprentice incomes than in those that are dominated by women. This wage injustice continues throughout their working lives. “Later, women are often paid less than men for the same work,” the vice president continues and concludes: “We invite Agenda Austria would like to invite you to a conversation and let the facts speak. Until then, the representatives of “Agenda Austria” could make the women happy by apologizing to them.”
