[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is a lazy student that just posted an essay question for the woman's studies class and expects us to give her ideas for her paper.[/quote]

Womens Studies contributes to the wage gap, it is useless , stop whining and get into a major that will produce a marketable skill. The study quoted stated women have to start getting into STEM if we expect wide scale parity.[/quote]

Do people really think like this??

Women could receive 100 percent of the STEM diplomas and there’d still be a wage gap as long as women are responsible for bearing children and there isn’t paid maternity leave and equality at home to keep them in the workforce or on the same trajectory as men.

This is why you have countries like Japan with low birth rates and the US where most babies are born to uneducated single women.

And majoring in womens studies resolves the issues you list how? People do think like this, so does the World Economic Forum that published the study, in fact they said it. 
You assumptions are just that assumptions and they are wrong. Maternity leave is very common in tech companies and if it weren't it would have virtually no effect on the wage gap overall. "Equality" at home? Are you serious, that is an individual issue to be sorted out by people in their household.

As for you demographics explain Europe where maternity leave is common and the birth rate is lower than the US. Womens (and mens) career fields and occupation are the single largest contributor to income differences. If 100% of STEM degrees went to women it would make a big difference in the gap and be great for everyone. [/quote]
