Comments on: The Gender Pay Gap is Real http://www.sacarny.com/blog/2006/01/11/the-gender-pay-gap-is-real/ Pushing bits for utility maximization Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:56:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.2 By: Andrew Rogers http://www.sacarny.com/blog/2006/01/11/the-gender-pay-gap-is-real/#comment-16117 Andrew Rogers Tue, 06 Mar 2007 17:14:21 +0000 http://www.sacarny.com/blog/2006/01/11/the-gender-pay-gap-is-real/#comment-16117 I am a political science student at Eastern Kentucky University. While this institution or region may not be regarded as a "hot-bed" for the feminist equality movement, the topic is widely discussed and lectured on. I am currently enrolled in a class, the politics of sex, that is discussing gender inequality that is politically and socially contextual. We operate a class blog that discusses a variety of topics related to gender inequality. The blogs can be found at http://politicsofsex446.blogspot.com I ran across your blog and thought you had some interesting ideas. The statistics widely used (Women earn 76 cents on the dollar compared to men) in discussing gender inequality in pay, seems to be skewed as it does not consider many important factors. The economists cited on your blog, after considering women and men of equal qualification, came up with a gap of 12 cents. I feel that this number is more representative of the acutal pay gap between women and men. One reason you listed for the pay gap between women and men was that women work on the lower tier of the job market. Women today earn more specialized and graduate degrees than ever before. Why are they still confined to the basement of employment opportunity? While it seems that our capitalist economic system would eliminate a wage gap between genders, a real wage gap does exist. While the exact amount of that wage gap can be debated, the existence cannot. I hope you can find the time to stop by and check out our class blog.
