I feel that these gender pay gap focuses are really thinking too small. The general argument of a pay gap is that there is a systemic problem. Firing individual men just because they're men is pants-on-head even trying to follow the logic that there are systemic hurdles for women in some space.
- lumost 5y agoPay averages are dominated by outliers. These outliers tend to either be due to negotiation power, seniority, or performance incentive. Odds are good that the outliers will cluster in your most over represented group, this group will then have a pay discrepancy with other groups. A company can correct this by banning the practices that lead to outliers, ensuring outliers are evenly represented across groups, and by eliminating those with outlier compensation. In firms that lock in compensation for long periods such as through partnerships or equity comp ensuring equal distribution of outlier compensation can be complex and difficult.
