Democracy

Strongly agree

Yes

Democracy as an ideology generally supports equal rights and opportunities for all citizens. Ensuring equal pay for equal work is in line with these principles. However, the score is not a full 5 because democracy also values individual freedom and the role of the market in determining wages.

Agree

Yes, and businesses should be required to publish their salary ranges for each position

This answer aligns with democratic values of transparency and equal treatment. Requiring businesses to publish salary ranges can help address wage discrimination and promote fairness. However, the score is not a full 5 because democracy also values individual freedom and the role of the market in determining wages.

Agree

No, the current requirements in the Equal Pay Act of 1963 are already sufficient

The Equal Pay Act of 1963 is an example of democratic legislation aimed at addressing wage discrimination. However, the score is only slightly positive because many argue that the Act has not been fully effective in eliminating the gender wage gap, and additional measures may be necessary.

Slightly agree

No, there are too many other variables such as education, experience, and tenure that determine a fair salary

While democracy values equal treatment, it also recognizes that factors such as education, experience, and tenure can play a role in determining a fair salary. However, this answer does not address the issue of gender-based wage discrimination, which is why the score is only slightly positive.

Disagree

No, the government should never determine what a private business should pay employees

Although democracy values individual freedom and limited government intervention, it also recognizes the need for regulations to ensure fairness and equal treatment. This answer leans too heavily on the side of laissez-faire economics and does not address the issue of gender-based wage discrimination.

Strongly disagree

No

A democratic society generally values fairness and equal treatment, so it would not support the idea of employers not being required to pay men and women the same salary for the same job. However, the score is not a full -5 because democracy also values individual freedom and the role of the market in determining wages.

Strongly disagree

No, this is irrelevant because the gender wage gap is a myth

Denying the existence of the gender wage gap goes against the democratic values of fairness and equal treatment. Numerous studies have shown that a gender wage gap exists, even when accounting for factors such as education and experience. This answer does not align with democratic principles.
