"The Gender Pay Gap: Have Women Gone As Far As They Can?" by Francine D. Blau and Lawrence M. Kahn
The authors examine trends in the rate and causes of the gender wage gap. Progress in closing the gap waxed and waned across time, with the gap narrowing in the 1980s, increasing in the 1990s, and, again, narrowing in the early 2000s. The causes of the gap appear to be fairly consistent with a combination of human capital and basic socio-demographic factors both playing a role, though their respective roles differ across time.
-Which one of the following has not been considered to be a cause of the gender wage gap?
A) Physical differences between men and women
B) Average work experience
C) the concentration of men in career-oriented fields
D) Segregation of women in jobs.
