The Fictional Wage Gap?
May 18th, 2007
Are women earning more than men?: Here’s some really fascinating research on the apparently fictional wage gap.
After more than a decade of research for my book, Why Men Earn More, I discovered that men and women make 25 work-life choices that actually create a wage gap. Men make decisions that result in their making more money. On the other hand, women make decisions that earn them better lives (e.g., more family and friend time).
But what happens when women make the same lucrative decisions typically made by men? The good news — for women, at least: Women actually earn more.
