When we bring parenthood into the picture I think this is confounding the results that the studies should account for, but in too many cases, they do not.
Then the mainstream media and people championing social justice causes often take these results the wrong way (even if they do so for noble reasons) and run with it too far.
I think we should compare never married men to never married women, otherwise I believe it to be disingenuous to make that wage gap argument based on gender.
Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Thomas Sowell argues that economic differences between working men and women are not generally due to employer discrimination, as is widely alleged: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EK6Y1X_xa4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EK6Y1X_xa4
- richmarr 10y ago>... confounding the results that the studies should account for... You're absolutely right that studies should make sure to control for potentially important variables. I don't know which studies you referring to. Not a topic I've looked at. That said, criticising a second group of studies can't reasonably cast shade over the first group, if that was your implication.
