Question

Identify the three factors that account for most of the wage gap between women and men? Explain how these factors disadvantage women’s earnings.

Answer 1

Factors that contribute for most of the wage gap between women and men-

1. Due to physically strong ability of men, they are in demand for the field work and paid high.
2. Due to less responsibility to the men of the children they can give their whole time to the company.
3. Many companies prefer men in technical field and paid them well as compare to women.

These factors highly influenced the women’s earning while working the same hours as men do while women have two responsibility. Still they get less paid due to some factors or mainly the authorities who assumes that women are not good enough for this project and hand over some of field projects to the men.
