Question

Why women are paid less than men

Answer 1

More than half of the pay gap between the genders can be explained by the fact that women tend to work in lower-paying industries and take jobs that pay less than men.

The myth that girls aren’t good at science; that tech jobs are for nerdy boys; that motherhood is a career and fatherhood is a thing you do in your time away from being at the office -- these are just a smattering of factors that push us onto different paths.

It all starts in childhood -- basically the moment a girl is born, is encased in that first pink onesie and lies back as a chorus of cooing adults tells her how pretty she looks.

Glassdoor looked at pay information shared by the site’s users, including about 504,000 full-time salaries. It found that 54 percent of the gender pay gap is attributable to the differences in jobs men and women hold and the industries in which they work, according to the study. Differences in experience and education drive a smaller portion of the gap.

Women in the U.S. make 76 cents on average for every dollar a man earns, according to the Glassdoor report. Federal data puts that gap at 78 cents. Other research, from Francine Blau at Cornell University, has also found that a majority of the pay difference can be explained by difference in occupations and jobs.

Answer 2
