The Gender Pay Gap is a Complete Myth

[Anonymous]

Also unmarried childless women earn more than men. Women lifestyle choices ( to get married and have kids) are more or less responsible for wage gap.

Better do a little more research. One link to a news outlet doesn't a thesis make.

I beleive the unmarried childless women earn more than men study was done on women under 30 in NYC and a few other major metropolitan areas.

OP here . I personally think there is a pay gap. But is it the result of lifestyle choices made by women or is it because there is systematic discrimination against women.? Right now research indicate it is the result of lifestyle choice made by women because unmarried urban women without children out-earn men

um, that could have something to do with the fact that women are out-performing men in higher education.

Yes. Lifestyle choice or cultural trap?

Anybody else remember what Disraeli said about statistics? A pay gap can only be measured by equal assigments. For example, if a man and a woman both get an MBA from the same school and are hired by a company for the same job, is the pay the same?

All I know is that my boss said to me when I was up for a promotion.

You are clearly the most qualified candidate but you will have children and then your focus will not be on the job. So I am giving the job to Joe.

When Joe got the promotion he said to Joe.

Joe you know Mary is much more qualified than you, but she is going to have children and then her focus will not be on the job. You better prove yourself or I am going to look bad for not chosing Mary.

Joe sucked at the job and eventually - 2 years later I got the promotion. I still kick myself for not taking it to court but that is not my MO. So maybe that is what they mean by lifestyle choice.
