“Women end up earning 20 percent less than their male counterparts over the course of their career.” The article indicates 20% less, not 2%.
-
the 2% is in 1 year, not the course of a career

This is way over my head, but I don’t think the y-axis is a straight percentage earnings.pic.twitter.com/dcCx6Ivsgk

Loved this episode! I thought your point about the structure of the paid family leave was particularly salient. Have you read "Social Protection and the Formation of Skills: A Reinterpretation of the Welfare State"? It looks at how the skills a country values changes how we act.

"The unsolved question: why does the child care penalty exist?" In Denmark (where the data is from) - the gap can mainly be explained by women reducing their working hours after having a child.

Yep. Try starting your own business. After 25 years at the world’s largest firms, often as the sole woman in the boardroom, NOW I can see why so few Fortune 500 CEOs are women.

@sarahkliff totally on board with eliminating gender gaps in pay, but when I see these sorts of stats, i can't help but think that it may result from people opting to work less in their professions and focus more of their labor on their children, which is uncompensated. right? -
by the way i'm in favor of compensated maternity/paternity leave, for what it's worth. But are we saying that employers actively pay mothers less? or are we saying that circumstances align that cause this outcome. if the latter that's why i don't get the ourage.

Honestly, this is one of the reasons I haven't had a child...that and I can't afford one because I have zero maternity leave... and well, crushing student debt.

Am I resentful? Yes. Not just because of the lost earnings, but lost opportunity for an advanced degree. But, in our family, I agreed to work reduced hours after I had kids. My husband made more money. My child had health problems. No daycare. No support, but I made a commitment

I have heard more men mention they need a raise because they have a family to support than women. Most women mention their accomplishments to justify a raise.

It’s a good article. Why the anger? You acknowledge that some “women may have a stronger preference for spending more time in activities related to child care.” This was the case in my family. Did you show that bias is a much stronger factor?
