Why is there a gender pay gap - i.e. why do women earn less than men on average? To what extent is it due to working in different types of jobs, levels of experience or education, or discrimination and biases? Economics Explained host Gene Tunny discusses the evidence with his colleague Benjamin Scott, Research Officer at Adept Economics.
Resources mentioned in the discussion include:
