AAUW advances gender equity for women and girls through research, education, and advocacy.
EQUAL PAY DAY. This symbolic day denotes how far into the year women must work to be paid what men were paid the previous year. Equal Pay Day 2024 is on March 12 and marks the current state of the gender pay gap: 84% for full-time workers and 78% for all workers (including part-time and seasonal).
Because the pay gap varies significantly among different communities, particularly for women of color, other Equal Pay Days have been added to the calendar over the years to reflect that fact that many women must work far longer into the year to catch up to men.
