Gender pay gap: the day women start working for free - Washington Post - 0 views

Simon Knight on 02 Jan 18An excellent visual data story describing the gender pay gap (in America) and debunking the claim that there is no real difference in the amount men and women get paid. The pay gap varies depending on the occupation, working hours, education attainment, experience, and geography. That explains part of the difference in pay between men and women, but not all of it. And even though most economists agree that after adjusting for age, education, experience and other variables there's still an unexplained gap, there are voices who argue that the gender pay gap is a myth. Pay gap deniers purport that women's choices, rather than discrimination, cause the pay gap between women and men. But those choices are actually consequences of the social forces at play.
