gender gap
Male-female disparity
The gender gap is a measurable difference between men and women in some area—typically earnings, political representation, educational attainment, or health outcomes.
The gender gap in STEM fields remains stubbornly wide.
The phrase often appears in discussions of workplace inequality: Women still earn less than men, though the gender gap has narrowed.
