Another of way too many bogus propaganda studies claiming some kind of gender pay gap! This time they are using something as unpredictable as lifetime income as a measure to fool people!
This is not science, but ideologically motivated demagoguery!
Unprecedented study finds NZ universities paying woman academics $400,000 less than men | Stuff.co.nz: Over the course of her career, the average female academic is paid $400,000 less than her male colleagues.
"We find a man’s odds of being ranked professor or associate professor are more than double a woman’s with similar recent research score, age, field, and university. We observe a lifetime gender pay gap of ~NZ$400,000" (Excerpted from abstract of paper)
What utter nonsense! Of course, historically men have higher odds, because there were not as many women aspiring to become professors.
Research performance and age explain less than half of the gender pay gap in New Zealand universities
And who is ultimately disseminating this crap science? Nature journal published by Springer!
