If you go to your local library they might have it there. It's called Gender and Poverty, published ca 1995. It's become one of the works that underline why the 77p theory is wrong. I pasted an article above that might help to shed some light on this in the meantime. And I'll keep expanding on the 77p thing above.

snowychap Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) 38 minutes ago, magnkarl said: It boils down to the following: the theory doesn't compare apples with apples. If you want to compare the whole male workforce with the female workforce you'd need to find people who make the IDENTICAL choices when it comes to family and work priority. Men and women make different choices. That's a silly cop out. You're never going to be able to have identical people and situations to compare in any situation. Yes, simple averages are not going to tell an in-depth and complete story but if you want a more in-depth appreciation of things then you look at those other factors and adjust for them. What you said in your post was: Quote Gender pay gap and why it's a myth. In response, from the article you provided a link to: Quote People who want to argue that the 80% figure is mythical therefore need to be very precise in saying exactly what is mythical about it. The most accurate summary is something like the following: “It’s a myth that women get paid only 80% of what men do when they have the same skills and experience and are doing the same work, but it’s also a myth to claim that economics shows there is no gender discrimination in labor markets because studies show that economic factors cannot explain all of the gender wage gap.” Edit: @limpidSorry, I've just posted this (as I was in the editor writing a reply and reading other pages) and then read your comment above afterwards.
