The Motherhood Penalty in Labor Force Involvement

Although it may appear that participation of women in the labor force has increased significantly in recent times, but that is not the case – at least not at the global level.  Even though the labor force participation rate for women aged 25-54 has undeniably increased from 67 percent in 1990 to 77 percent in 2021 in high-income countries, situation looks quite differently in all other income groups. According to estimates from the International Labour Organization (ILO), only 61.4 percent of women in prime working age were either employed or actively seeking employment globally in 2022, which is actually a small decline from 62.8 percent in 1990.

The progress in the fight against child labor has hindered

The International Labor Organization and UNICEF shared a report which reveals that the progress in the fight against child labor already started to hinder even before the outbreak of Covid-19 as a pandemic. In early 2020, around 160 million children aged between 5 to 17 years were indulged in hazardous and age-inappropriate work. This was an increase from 152 million as of 2016.

Child labor has been seen decreasing in Latin America and Asia but, the numbers are still on a rise in Sub-Saharan Africa. As the infographic shows, 22.4 percent of children aging between 5 to 17 years were engaged in intensive work in 2016. The figure however increased by 24 percent at the beginning of 2020.

The 20 Largest Strikes in American History

A labor strike is simply a voluntary suspension of work, where workers come together in defense of their common demands. Throughout the history of the United States, there have been numerous labor strikes that have been focused on various issues including dismal and dangerous working conditions, low wages, long and strenuous hours, hiring discrimination, stretching workforces too thin, and violating workers' rights to unionize. 


From the team at Parker Waichman, this infographic looks at the largest worker strikes in American history, while ranking them by the number off cumulative days off the job. With 400,000 workers involved and the cumulative days off the job totaling an estimated 70.4 million jobs, the United Mine Workers of America Strike (1946) is the largest strike in American history. The strike was focused on workers looking for a health plan for both retired and currently employees, and the strike led to increases in pay, better working conditions, and more.

A List of Some 2019 OSHA Violations

Labour work is perhaps one of the toughest out there. Not only should labourers be keen on working carefully, but they also need to look after themselves. It doesn't really matter what particular task they carry out, since all tasks have their own risks. These tasks can include working at extreme heights, dangerous pipe and machinery involvement and much much more.

OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has defined a set of standards for the well-being of labourers in the United States. These standards are subject to change as per the environment or any new circumstances.

The Highest OSHA Fines Issued in Every State Since 2015
Established back on December 29th, 1970, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) became established under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. It's a division of the U.S. Department of Labor and works to make sure that there are safe and healthy working conditions for employees throughout the United States. It also provides education, outreach, training, and assistance for workers throughout the country. When companies are deemed to have had violations at their places of operation, they can result in fines from OSHA.

How Much Your Body Parts Are Worth In Workers’ Compensation
Employees who are permanently injured or lose a limb due to workplace accidents or hazards are typically compensated by their employer for the harm done to their body and future lost wages. Unfortunately, benefits vary wildly from state to state. Congress permits each state to determine workers’ compensation benefits with no minimums set by the federal government. In the Unite States, the average maximum compensation for an arm is $169,878.

However, if you work in Alabama, you may only be given a maximum payout of $48,840 if you lose an arm. Nevada offers the most at $859,634. Shockingly, the US average compensation for a lost arm is only $169,878. Another major variance is the compensation for losing a leg. The United States average is $153,211. Nevada is the most generous once again, offering $457,418 for a lost leg, which is a stark contrast to Alabama’s mere $44,000.

More often than not when we hear the word farmer, we picture a ruddy man in wellington boots with a makeshift belt of baling twine. But this impression is as outdated as it is inaccurate. More and more farm workers are women, performing the crucial, though often unpaid, tasks that keep a farm running smoothly.
