I got 17/20, so I can be an Australian. lol

Again, some of the questions I found to be a bit ambiguous, but I think the questions are bit more reasonable than I had expected. I think if I hadn't been born here I'd find it hard to answer a lot more of the questions though.

2/3 I got wrong were ones where I should have chosen C all of the above rather than selecting option A or B. I feel a bit better now.

8 out of 24. So, I equalled the score of random guessing by random guessing.

Although one of the things I am randomly guessing about is exactly how this test is reflective of knowledge of citizenship ...

Off to stand on my head to do the Aussie quiz.

14 out of 20 ... Failed. A C grade is passing here in the civilized world, you know.

I'm just going to have to have a coupla Big Barrels to console myself, and work up the courage to go blue with the ratbag who wrote it. Or something.

Aliantha · 10-12-2011, 07:49 PM

I thought you were thinking about entering into some bizarre sex game with a rodent for a minute.

That is a common fault of online translators ...

So, what's the actual difference in pay rates between men and women in the UK?

DanaC · 10-13-2011, 12:05 PM

Well, it used to be 17.5% but I think that quiz puts it around 20% currently.

From the Guardian:

Quote:

The data shows that the median annual salary for all full-time employees in 2010 was £25,900, which is up 0.3% on the year before. But men earn vastly more than women: £28,091, compared to £22,490 - a difference of 19.9%.

Even overtime has an effect - 24.1% of men working full-time take home overtime pay, compared to only 12% of women in the same position.

But even if you remove that impact, plus the effect of women earning maternity pay and the fact that more women work part-time than men, the difference is still striking: men earned 10.2% more in hourly full-time pay last year, £13.01 compared to £11.68.

Quote:

The pay gap has narrowed considerably in the past decade, declining from 16.3% (excluding overtime) in 2000 to 10.2% last year

The ONS recommends looking at median salaries because they are not affected by the relatively few very high earners - unlike the 'average' or 'mean' salary, which would be changed by one or two people earning over £1m, for instance. If you do use the average figure, the pay gap rises to 15.5%.

And before we start wondering if we're really comparing like with like:

Quote:

Using the ONS' job classification data, where each occupation is given a special 4-digit code number, the data shows there are around 170 jobs classified where men earn over 10% more than their female counterparts, and another 200 where men earn between 1 and 10% more than women. There are only three where the hourly pay is the same.

Define "chance".

Oh, and pick up the payment for the boat while I am gone.

ZenGum · 10-14-2011, 05:47 PM

What are these "college loans" you speak of, foreigner?

(Kinda BS, really, but uni students here come out with a smallish debt with very soft terms and rates. Less funny with the details.)
