Wage Gap & Economic Disadvantage
Your writing submissions for the January 2025 - March 2025 quarter should be centered on the following prompt:
​
With today's current economic and geopolitical state, one of the main issues pressing many workers is the growing gap between financial security and insecurity. Issues such as unequal pay based on gender or race, poor working conditions, or inflation have drastically impacted the lifestyle and stability many individuals have grown to rely on. Throughout this quarter, we invite you to explore WAGE GAP & ECONOMIC DISADVANTAGE and its implications on society, while delving into its impacts on individual experiences and opportunities within the fields of politics, healthcare, education, and more. ​
