This discrepancy is highlighted on the annual Equal Pay Day, which falls on the day of the year that represents how many extra work days women must complete to earn the same pay that men earned in the past year. In the U.S., women on average earn approximately $0.81 for every $1.00 that a man earns.
This is the reality not only in America, but throughout the world. After years of gaining various work experience or acquiring higher education, imagine that your livelihood falls short of what is deserved - not because of a difference in work quality or skill level, but rather because of your gender or the color of your skin. In the United States, the Fair Labor Standards Act allows for children as young as 14 to begin working and earning. We need adequate wages to live and thrive no matter where we are in the world. These difference boundaries can also be used to evaluate whether or not your company or organization may be contributing to workplace discrimination such as the wage gap. In this Airtable HR template, you can see some group identities and difference boundaries recorded for each person.ĭifference boundaries are crucial for collecting peace data as peace data is created when people of different group identities positively engage through a mediating technology. For example, for the group identity race/ethnicity, our intern cohort at PII has difference boundaries including Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, Portugese, Spanish, and American. Each group identity has sub-categories, which are difference boundaries. Some of these group identities are salient and others are invisible. Other examples include occupation, relationship status, your alma mater and whether or not you have children.
Some examples of group identities are the “Big 8” which are: age, ability, class (socioeconomic status), race/ethnicity, gender, religion, culture (national identity), and sexual orientation. Group identities are social categories that people fall into. For more information on the other dimensions of peace data, please see this miro board. For now, we will focus on the first dimension, group identities. They are group identities, behavior data, longitudinal data, and metadata. Peace data, or data about positive, prosocial behaviors that maximize mutually beneficial positive outcomes from interactions with others, has four dimensions. Through our exploration of Airtable we have also discovered that it can be a tool to collect peace data within companies and organizations. At PeaceX, we utilize Airtable for publishing calendars, content pitches, resource sharing, and human resource functions. Airtable also includes app-like add-ins called blocks that allow for different functions and visualizations of the spreadsheet data. There are over 200 templates to explore that utilize their spreadsheet-database hybrid. Airtable is a cloud collaboration service that allows you to easily build and manage databases.
