In the United States, women earn cents for each dollar that a man earns. Can this be explained? What are the reasons?

Answer:

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: In the United States, women earn 77 cents to the dollar that a man earns. One reason for this is that women are more likely to leave the workforce to take care of children. Another reason is that women are more likely to work in lower-paying fields like education, social services, and the humanities. However, this only explains the discrepancy to a degree. Less than 1% of CEOs are women; less than 15% of corporate board positions are held by women.
