I believe strongly in an equal distribution of opportunity between the sexes. How would you propose fixing the gap that the paper describes? Simply paying women drivers 7% more? Would that be fair?

Even in the relatively simple production of a passenger’s ride, past experience is valuable for drivers. i.e. women should be given training to compensate for the a priori difference in experience. women should also be educated about this >hourly earnings on Uber vary predictably by location and time of week, and men tend to drive in more lucrative locations. the obvious question becomes why aren't women driving during more lucrative times. is it because those times are late nights during which it's potentially more dangerous for a woman driver. this is of course a systemic issue of a larger system. my point is that usually when someone claims "accidental/benign inequality" all one needs to do is expand the scope to discover the malignant root.
