Equal Pay for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Women
Join us on April 7, 2025 to mark AANHPI Equal Pay Day.
On average, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) women earn 83 cents for every dollar white, non-Hispanic men made last year. But when you look past the average, many AANHPI women face even larger wage gaps.
A closer look at the wage gap
The wage gap within the AANHPI community is far from uniform. Disparities persist not only between AANHPI ethnic subgroups but also within ethnic groups, between men and women, and based on immigration status. These differences are often masked by the model minority myth, which portrays Asian American communities as universally successful, ignoring realities of these diverse communities, economic injustice and discrimination.
