It says that but it's not that women choose lower stress jobs. Just a different kind of stress. Children & sick people are stressful.

1. Stressful meaning dangerous is the idea presented. Yes children are stressful but working at a port walking on trees which could injure
-
Yes. Dangerous is different to stressful tho being in danger can certainly cause stress! Men do more of the dangerous jobs.
-
That's what I was getting at, generally society has decided higher pay goes to danger over a stress like children hence the pay gap
-
No, I don't think so. Most men do not do dangerous jobs & the best paid jobs are not dangerous. CEOS earn more than firemen.
-
Maybe 'danger money' contributes slightly to the overall better pay of jobs men are more drawn to but I think it's the other way round.
-
Women are drawn more to jobs working with people that they find satisfying & they're less likely to worry about the lower pay.
-
So women don't care about money as much is what you're saying?
-
Yes. Earning it, anyway. This doesn't increase their social standing & attractiveness to the same extent it does with men.
