Time to break the gender tax bias

Improving gender equality is an issue of fairness, and a priority for most governments. Working towards more inclusive economies, in which women fully participate, is also important for economic growth. Tax policy can contribute to gender equality, and to governments’ efforts to reduce inequalities. Even in tax systems that do not include explicit gender biases, hidden biases often exist due to the interaction of the tax system with differences in the nature and level of income earned by men and women, consumption decisions and social expectations.

ABOUT THE OECD
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organisation established in 1960 that works collaboratively to build better policies for better lives. Our goal is to shape policies that foster prosperity, equality, opportunity and well-being for all. Together with governments, policy makers, policy shapers, and citizens, we work on establishing evidence-based international standards and finding solutions to a range of social, economic and environmental challenges.

Men were underrepresented in this video. We need less taxes for everyone and less government interference in people's lives.

They do the shopping so pay more tax! You have not established who's money they are spending. Could be the mans. You really can't make this stuff up.

More women at work? DOes that mean less men at owrk? If not, where is this work that nobody wants?

Sure! But as a Man, after taxes are lowered for women, can I then say it's unfair? How do you fix that?
Being equally fair to everyone is morally better than being "more fair" towards one group or the other.
