Question

15. Suppose that a recent press article quoted a report saying that male school teachers were paid more than female school teachers. Assuming this is true, what information would you require before judging this to be evidence of wage discrimination. 16. Suppose a restaurant hires only women to wait on tables and only men to cook the food and clean dishes. Is this behaviour most likely to indicate employer, employee, customer, or statistical discrimination? Is this consistent with profit maximization behaviour? Why or why not?
