Over half a century after pay discrimination became illegal in the United States, a persistent pay gap between men and women continues to hurt our nation's workers and our national economy. Women working full time in the U.S. are paid 82 cents to every dollar earned by men -- but it doesn't stop there. The consequences?of this gap?affect?women…

The gender wage gap impacts millions of women throughout the US and world, with women in the US making on average 82 percent of men's salaries (US Census Bureau, 2018). In research libraries, a field dominated by women, this has historically been true as well, with men rising to top positions at a higher rate and making more money than women in…

Given the facts that women still earn significantly less than men, that most American students rely on loans to attend college, that tuition in higher education has increased, and that women have to take more students loans than men, can we still claim that we are closing the gender gap? Do females have more burdens to pay off their student loans…

Understanding how the behaviors and actions of building principals impact student achievement is a major goal of educational leadership, in which both direct and indirect factors exist.

Policy makers, academics, and media reports suggest that women could shrink the gender pay gap by negotiating more effectively for higher compensation. Yet women entering compensation negotiations face a dilemma: They have to weigh the benefits of negotiating against the social consequences of having negotiated. Research shows that women are…

Although this is in many ways a good era for women, many things have yet to improve. Women continue to lag behind men with regard to salaries, are under-represented in position of leadership, and still take on greater responsibility for child rearing and family responsibilities.

There has been a long-standing concern amongst policymakers, economists, and trade unions over the persistent earnings gap between men and women in the Canadian labour market. Although this gap has narrowed over time, women's average hourly wages still remain about 16% lower than that earned by men. The reasons for this inequality in male and…

There are sizeable earnings differentials by gender and race in the U.S. labor market, with women earning less than men and most racial/ethnic minority groups earning less than whites. It has been proposed in the previous literature that the effects of gender and race on earnings are additive, so that minority women suffer the full disadvantage of…

Analysis of data from 529 female and 1,343 male physicians found a strong positive correlation between women's perceptions of the gender income differences they experienced and econometric estimates of those differences. Women accurately perceived wage discrimination and used their perception in determining the amount they were underpaid. (SK)

It has been noted that the payoffs of schooling on salary is more for women than for men, though females are inclined to earn less in the United states. The causes of this effect are investigated using information from National Longitudinal Survey of Youth.

An annual survey of corporate trainers (n=2,054) found a 4% rise in salaries. Women's salaries rose an average of 8%; female trainers (51% of respondents) now earn 82% of what male trainers earn. Trainers in the Northeast and Pacific Northwest were the highest paid, and the overall salary rise was largely in organizations with the highest revenues…

Examined variables related to sexual discrimination on-the-job for a sample of social workers (N=128) in North Carolina. Findings indicated that gender was a better predictor of salary than either job position, experience, or education. When these three variables were controlled, males were found to earn an average of $5,645 more per year than…

Attempts to quantify what proportion of the salary difference between men and women in chemistry might be attributed to differencies in degree level, years of work experience, employer category, and work function. (MLH)
