LOOL, well maybe if the marker is looking for a LOL, but one reason is that there is largely no policy response towards reducing the degree of inequality in wealth, but there is a larger response for income, (e.g. taxation, transfer payments etc...). One of a few reasons anyway

thanks

The negative impacts of a high CAD (3 marks)?

 

[Futuremedstudent]

Why are average weekly earnings for males higher than average weekly

A current account deficit, may imply that you are relying on consumer spending, and are becoming uncompetitive. This leads to lower growth of the export sector.

High cad -> high foreign debt -> servicing costs -> may lead to high foreign liabilities-> downgrading aus credit -> push up interest rates -> even higher servicing costs in the future -> further add to the high cad

Partially due to the inherent skills gap which exists between male and females, with less females achieving higher tertiary education, also as many women enter the workforce the reach a metaphorical glass ceiling as they are expected to leave work to "have babies", also a large majority of female workers are on part time or casual work meaning they have less hours and less income as well
