Men are from Mars; women are poorly paid

摘要

"Employment rates for women have grown faster and are above where they were in 2008, but employment rates for men have not even gotten back to where they were." This remark was made by the OECD chief economist, Catherine Mann, after delivering an update on the global economic outlook in late September. Speaking to the BBC, Ms Mann added, "Women are paid less than men. You've got more women employed, as compared to men, so the algebra works out to be a downward pressure on wage growth."
