Inequities Exist In the Remuneration That People Receive For the Jobs

Introduction

There have been growing concerns over rising remuneration inequality on the basis of race in the last decade. Racism and behaviors that fed by causing complex phenomena in which there is a great deal of imagination and fantasy (those who are different is a threat even if not physically present). It expressed in the political level (far right) and often in daily life where there is a huge gulf between political rhetoric, the laws against racism and discrimination, on the one hand, and the life of every day and what experienced by people of foreign origin, on the other. Racism can lead to racial discrimination, racial slurs and racist violence, as racial discrimination is not necessarily accompanied by words and / or racist violence and vice versa, words or racist inequalities can exist without that there is discrimination (Marx, 2010, Pp. 167-174).

However, there are people from different nationalities who get remunerations of different levels depending on their racial background. For example, people from Chinese origin get higher wages than people from Indian origin working in Singapore (Facio, 2003, 75-91).

Salary inequality by racial discrimination

Many times those who do discriminate by the color of the skin can create a notion of wages inequality amongst people of different racial background. People of color, indigenous or aboriginal, foreigners of different ethnicity are the target of attacks. Blacks are one of the most affected breeds, from the colonial period, were victims of slavery, but in Singapore Indonesians and Philippines have the worst conditions in-contrast of salary distribution. Today, racial minorities get rejected and experience, sometimes wages abuse and in Singapore it is taking place (Facio, 2003, 75-91).

However, there are various reasons behind the problem of unequal distribution of wages in ...
