      I think people are often the most stressful things of all and women tend to work more directly with them.

      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.

      @QuilletteM had a good piece which looked specifically at what men & women prioritise in jobs but I can't find it right now.

          It showed men to prioritise raw income whilst women more likely to weigh up other factors like hours, travel, healthcare, flexibility etc.
