We’ve known about a business earnings gender gap between men and women for some time now, but it seems that we may have miss-identified the true underlying cause of it’s existence.
According to an article in the New York Times, Professors from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and Harvard studied business graduates’ careers between 1990 and 2006 and found that women generally worked much less after taking maternity leave and resulted in a noticeable wage disparity.
I’m not going to assume there are not businesses out there imposing a glass ceiling on female business professionals, but this clear shows that we cannot rely solely on the same historic arguments from years gone by.
