"If it were not for employment discrimination against women, the average earnings of men and women would be equal." Is this statement true or false?
Earnings differences between men and women may be the result of factors other than employment discrimination. When seeking to isolate the impact of current employment discrimination, comparisons should be made between male and female workers of similar productivity and job preferences. For example, family specialization plays a role in the gender wage gap as the wage gap is wider among married persons than for single persons.
