Actual efforts to identify wage discrimination in the labor market

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Although efforts have been made to identify wage discrimination in the labor market, the existence of unmeasurable characteristics such as work experience, education, and skills that differ by gender makes it difficult to prove conclusively that wage discrimination exists. Therefore, the best choice is C, which states that the existence of wage discrimination cannot be proven due to unmeasurable characteristics. Neither A nor B are correct because there is no conclusive evidence that wage discrimination reduces women's wages by a specific percentage. Option D is incorrect because the measurable characteristics that may differ by gender, such as education and work experience, can be accounted for in statistical analyses to some extent.
