Question

Wage differences between men and women do not reflect discrimination but rather differences in job continuity and rational decisions with respect to education and on-the-job training.” Explain why you agree or disagree

Answer 1

In some instances, I would like to disagree on this statement. I do not see why there should be a difference between the wages of men and women when both can do the same job, with the same continuity, and rational decisions, as well as the level of education and job training. Everything that should be done in the job is being taught or trained to both men and women and there is no way that the result would be different. So other than that, the only reason as to why it would differ to some is because of discrimination or stereotyping with no rational basis. Hope this answer helps.
