Question

What are some reasons other than gender that some women may make less than their male counterparts?

Answer 1

There are other reasons also E. G wage differentials are due to hazardous nature of jobs. Often women do not work in such jobs.

Similarly many women in developing countries for example do not posses as much human capital as women. This also results in wage differences

Similarly there is less women participation in sports where wages tend to be high due to uncertain nature of career

Women also are over represented in low paying jobs

No pay for no work during delivery also results in less income. They are likely to take time out for caretaking of children etc. This depresses wages
