Titiou Lecoq explains for ActuElles all the mechanisms, beyond the eternal glass ceiling, which contribute to reducing women's incomes to increase those of men.
Among them: free work within the home, part-time work adopted to take care of children, career dropouts... But also tax, via its "conjugalization", that is to say, the declaration common income, favors high incomes at the expense of low incomes, who find themselves paying more.
Heritage is not gender neutral either, deciphers the author.
Awareness of the discrepancy between the way men and women manage money is growing in society, to the point that some women have made it a tool for advocacy.
Plan Cash, for example, offers training for women on investment and finance, to teach them how to grow their savings.
ActuElles also comes back to Stéphanie Frappart, the French referee who stands out on the football fields in Qatar.
For the 2022 World Cup, she is the only woman to officiate in this men's competition.
