Abortion rights, women of color, and LGBTQIA+ people are under attack. Pledge to join us in fighting for gender justice.
Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) women who worked full time, year-round in 2023 were typically paid just 97 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men. This wage gap widens when part-year and part-time workers are included: AANHPI women were typically paid just 83 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men. In addition, the wage gap between AANHPI women and AANHPI men was even wider; AANHPI women working full time, year-round were paid only 80 cents for every dollar paid to AANHPI men.
We need public investments and economic policies that support economic opportunity and address the problematic inequities failing AANHPI women every day, robbing many of them of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and in some cases $1 million or more, over their lifetimes, and preventing them and their families from building wealth.
