You can never say anything wrong about women because they were apparently discriminated against in history, and well, there's this pay gap thing! It's easy to use something like this for purposes of propaganda, so why not question every source on it? — Coldlight
Nowhere near 100% of the variance (think, the trend of differences between women and men) is explained through the sum total of all predictors. UK analysis puts this somewhere between 30 and 50% of the variance. Which is to say, and Peterson is very fond of this formulation (when applied in other contexts) - at least 50% of the difference between men and women isn't explained by any socioeconomic factor other than gender! — fdrake
My working hypothesis is that you've come to this from Jordan Peterson or a related video making an argument that the gender pay gap doesn't exist when including other variables. — fdrake
No, don't know who that guy is. I do agree, however, that if other variables are included, then there is no gap. The point being that if someone says that women get paid less for doing the same job, it is far from truth for the simple fact that it is close to impossible to do the identical job when it comes to management, marketing, business etc.
You don't know what that means? Jack up your rent or mortgage by 11% just because.the average gap in mean hourly pay across the organisations was 11%." I honestly have very little idea as to what this is supposed to mean practically — Coldlight
Yes. Adults that are actually in the workforces can tell you that as a granular detail in the nitty gritty of the landscape, even though it may or may not be lost in varying economist big data visualizations and interpretations from orbital points of view.So, my question is, does a gender pay gap exist? — Coldlight
Since, for most people it does seem to exist as reality, let's look at the idea that it is propaganda for folks who claim that it isn't. Who would, and why would, benefit occur in the claim that it does not exist?If not, who benefits from use of such propaganda? — Coldlight

Occupation does not mean that their work brings the same value to the company, which, ultimately is what is the most important for each company. — Coldlight
Are you trying to say that it doesn't matter what value a person brings to the company? Does just the occupation title matter? — Coldlight
There is only one type of pay gap, and that is between the top 1% which owns the majority of the world's wealth and the other 99% that are witnessing a slow erosion in their standard of living and fighting work the other ones in the 99% for a share of their overall decreasing wealth. — Rich
If this explains the gender pay gap then why is it that men bring more value than women? — Michael
Do you want to base your opinions on analyses done on the best data with fairly robust research methodologies? Or do you want to engage in the knee-jerk reactionary discourse you're so rightly criticising? — fdrake
Does it really take a tremendous genius to understand that companies treat their employees as investments, and have every right to do so? Does it really take so much to get that there are different values delivered to the company by each employee?
