 Presentation
Abstract |
In an era when about half of U.S. women participate in the paid workforce, when there is no
longer an expectation that most families will be supported by a
single-earner husband/father, when a consistent message to young women
is that they can expect to work for pay for a significant portion of
their lives, and when most young women in college expect to have
careers, can it still be true that there is a gender pay gap? Yes, the
gender pay gap is still alive and well. This presentation will explore
the magnitude and pervasiveness of the pay gap and some of the factors
that help it to persist. It will challenge the notion that women earn
less simply because of their own choices and preferences, and will
explore what might be done to close the gap.
The presentation highlights work by Dr. Hilary
M. Lips, professor and chair of psychology and director of the Center for Gender
Studies at Radford University. Using current and historical data from
the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics surveys (the
CPS,
ACS,
ATUS),
the General Accounting Office (GAO)
and other sources, Dr. Lips' presentation
emphasizes the challenges, difficulties and controversies in assessing
the gender wage gap within "Human Capital Models".
