The pay gap between different genders is a prevalent issue on a global scale. It is especially pronounced in developing
and third-world countries, where economies are agricultural-based rather than industrial, further exacerbating this
problem. The resolution of the gender wage gap is crucial to the interdependence of the global market. The purpose of
this paper is to study whether there is a possible difference between the average income of male small-scale food
producers and female small-scale food producers in certain countries. This paper examines the gender pay gap through
data pulled from the United Nations SDG codebook and Database and analyzes it through hypothesis tests, confidence
intervals, and graphs that are created through SAS® Studio through SAS® OnDemand for Academics. This study
explores the potential wage gap for small-scale food producers who depend on these practices
and where more
resources may possibly need to be funneled in terms of assistance. |
