gender pay gap
Earnings inequality phenomenon
The gender pay gap is the difference in average earnings between men and women in the workforce, typically expressed as a percentage of men's earnings.
It can be measured as raw difference in median wages or adjusted to account for factors like occupation, experience, and hours worked.
The gap persists across most industries and countries, though its causes are debated—explanations range from discrimination and occupational segregation to differences in work patterns and negotiation.
The gender pay gap in tech remains stubbornly wide despite diversity initiatives.
