Die Essenz gibt es im Vorwort und auf den Seiten 63-65.
Zitate aus der Arbeit:

“Particularly notable is that, by 2010, conventional human-capital variables (education and labor-market experience) taken together explained little of the gender wage gap in the aggregate. This is due to the reversal of the gender difference in education, as well as the substantial reduction in the gender experience gap. On the other hand, gender differences in location in the labor market—distribution by occupation and industry—continued to be important in explaining the gap in 2010. “

“Our review of the literature was designed to shed light on the explanations for the gender wage gap, both factors that have been traditionally emphasized and newer explanations that have been offered. We provided a discussion of the causes of women’s improvements in measured skills, emphasizing the remarkable reversal of the gender gap in college attendance, as well as women’s increasing commitment to the paid labor force. In light of the persistent unexplained pay gap, we then discussed recent research on gender differences in factors that standard data sets cannot measure, or which have not been the focus of conventional wage gap studies. We considered the ways in which conventional gender roles and gender identity, as well as the presence of children, can contribute to the gender wage gap. We also examined evidence on gender difference in mathematics test scores and noncognitive skills such as gender differences in attitudes toward competition, negotiation, and risk aversion. We conclude that many of the traditional explanations continue to have salience for understanding the gender wage gap and changes in the gap, although some factors have increased and others have decreased in importance.”

“Moreover, recent research suggests an especially important role for work force interruptions and shorter hours in explaining gender wage gaps in high-skilled occupations than for the workforce as a whole—this work is particularly relevant in that, as we have seen, the gender wage gap at the top of the wage distribution appears to have decreased more slowly than at the middle and the bottom.
