I'm not sure it is significantly. I got paid a bit more working with people who not only shat on me but were also likely to beat me up, but I doubt this accounts for much.
Maybe relevant. I worked with violent autistic people and didn't get paid much more for it. But again, being attacked by a person and having limbs crushed or cut off or burned or being electrocuted to death or falling several stories are perhaps on another level.
I have scars from being scratched and bitten. It sucks. But I have friends missing fingers or who almost died from poorly wired 3-phase industrial power mains arching plasma across the room.
Yes, they are. I've had two lots of stitches in my head and a chipped kneecap. But I still don't think this counts for huge amounts of the reason men and women choose differently or for the earnings gap.
Just to be sure I'm interpreting that correctly; You don't think the danger of certain jobs accounts for men and women's choices, nor that dangerous jobs being more higher paying, accounts for much of the earnings gap?
No. There are few dangerous jobs and dangerous jobs are not the best paid. I think much more of it is explained by women's greater interest in working with people and men's for working with things. And, obviously, hours and parental breaks.
That accounts for much of it (though why jobs with "things" and jobs with people are paid differently is an issue I'd like to see explored). But I'd have to be convinced with data that danger pay isn't very relevant (my anecdotal experiences tell me otherwise) (cont'...)
Yes, I'd like to see data on this too.
