Historically in the world of work, women have earned less than men, however, although this has changed over time, there is still a lot to do.
Despite the progress, some women, in addition to earning less, still pay much more. You have realized? You can perceive this in the supermarket. Perhaps it is already common for you, however, the fact that the same product, whether for women or men, has a difference only in the labeling, is a reason to give it at a higher amount.
This situation is already more noticeable and AQB Directory even uncomfortable. For example, there are products that you find in versions for women and men, from razors, toilet paper, deodorants, among others. The difference: the price.
This is called the “pink tax” : a percentage that women must pay for products that, due to their packaging or description, are aimed entirely at them.
In several countries, the pink tax has not been well received. In Argentina, for example, consumers are outraged, since feminine products are on average 14% more expensive than similar products but are aimed at men.
Pink tax, a reality... from Mexico to Argentina
This was revealed in a study carried out in March 2008 by Focus Market, a company that provides advice to companies and public organizations in the field of commerce, marketing and economics.
This is an obstacle for Argentine women, since in that country women earn 27% less than men.
Unfortunately, this inequality is not unique to Argentina. According to Damián Di Pace, director of Focus Market, "we must keep in mind that this tax is imposed by the market, not the State. The products we analyze are from transnational companies that have the same market policy throughout the world, the same thing must be happening in Mexico.
"This increase in price is something that women don't even see, but businessmen do." You take advantage of it especially in the hygiene and personal care categories, where there is a greater participation of women in purchasing volumes.
