Very recommendable! Indeed, the gender pay gap is mostly a myth in Western societies if you compare apples with apples!
Perhaps motherhood and child rearing may affect wages of women more than men and explain some of the differences even today.

Chart of the day
Why is there still a pay gap difference between men and women? One of the reasons is women/men still choose different jobs than men/women!
In the battle of the sexes women want high paying jobs, but let men do the dirty work! Men watch out!
E.g. 98% of employees in the German construction business are men! (Source)

EU Parliament lawmakers back new rules on gender pay. Really!
This EU parliament produces a lot of rubbish and it is very expensive to maintain! It has been a circus for many years!
More Big Government interventions for what!
Feminist propaganda and demagoguery! If women and men are compared under the same conditions and circumstances this fictitious gender wage gap disappears in most cases!

Data Show Gender Pay Gap Opens Early after college graduation. Really!
This endless and unfounded harping on the so called gender pay gap! Mostly propaganda and demagoguery! What is the point!!!
The gender pay gap is one of these ideological constructs that are more like a mirage or a misconception!
Of course, women and men differ in what they study and what jobs they take and more. Thus, there is quite naturally a pay gap and it has little to do with gender, but a lot with choices people make!
The other reason for this pay gap is due to frequent apple with orange comparisons like broad averages that disguise the differences!
That the Wall Street Journal also falls for this crap without any proper qualification is very regrettable!
"In nearly 75% of roughly 11,300 undergraduate and graduate degree programs, median pay for men exceeded that for women three years after graduation, according to Education Department data on 1.7 million college grads who received federal student aid. Determining why those gaps appear earlier isn’t simple, but career paths, salary negotation tactics and discrimination could be factors."

Gender Wage Gap Explained Entirely by Work Choices of Men and Women
Recommendable! The so called gender wage gap is a fiction and an ideological term!
"... It ignores the fact that according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), in 2017, men worked an average of 8.05 hours in an average day compared to 7.24 hours for women. ...
And there are differences in the type of work men and women do, which bears on their earnings. BLS data shows that, in 2017, 94 percent of child day care services workers were female, the highest percentage of any category, and that the mean annual wage of childcare workers was $23,760. By contrast, just 2.9 percent of workers in logging were women, the lowest share of any category, and the mean annual wage here was $42,310. ...
They find that male train and bus drivers [of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), highly unionized and government run] worked about 83 percent more overtime than their female colleagues and were twice as likely to accept an overtime shift—which pays time-and-a-half—on short notice and that around twice as many women as men never took overtime. The male workers took 48 percent fewer unpaid hours off under the Family Medical Leave Act each year. Female workers were more likely to take less desirable routes if it meant working fewer nights, weekends, and holidays. ..."

Pseudoscience: The gender pay gap is not going away
The Royal Society of Chemistry is a purveyor of phony ideologies and phony data reporting! The Royal Society compares apples with with eggs! Men and women do not work in exactly the same jobs and exactly the same employers etc.
Yes, phony ideologies are not going away! Repeat them again and again!
"... For most of November and December the average woman in the UK effectively works for free. That is if you compare her annual salary to that of her male colleagues. ..."

Gehälter von Männern und Frauen: EU will Lohnlücke schließen
Sollte es nicht den einzelnen Mitgliedsländern der EU vorbehalten bleiben diese sog. Lohnlücke anzugehen oder auch nicht! Wieder mal unnötige Zentralisierung statt Föderalismus und Subsidiarität! Brexit hat nicht gereicht! Unglaublich, mit was für einem Unsinn sich die EU beschäftigt! Steckt bestimmt die dämliche Ursula von der Leyen dahinter!
Die sog. Lohnlücke ist ein künstliches, ideologisch motiviertes Konstrukt, dass wenig mit Realitaet und Fakten zu tun hat! Dem dämlichen Journalisten der FAZ ist das wohl auch entgangen!
"... Die [Covid-19] Krise hat damit ein Schlaglicht darauf geworfen, dass es bis zur [zwangsweisen] Gleichstellung von Männer und Frauen noch weit ist. ...
Die sogenannte Lohnlücke ist zwar in den vergangenen Jahren stetig gesunken. Sie liegt in der EU aber weiter bei 14 Prozent und in Deutschland bei 19 Prozent ...
Nach dem Vorschlag [für Gehaltstransparenz und neuen Klagemöglichkeiten] ... sollen Unternehmen mit mehr als 250 Mitarbeitern künftig einmal im Jahr im Internet detailliert veröffentlichen, wie viel mehr Männer bei ihnen als Frauen verdienen. ..."

Pay gap widens between female and male scientists in North America
Again, Nature journal disseminates obvious junk research! Or you have to read the finer details to discover that the headline is extremely deceptive! As is usual with these kind of attention grabbing, ideologically motivated studies, it compares apples with oranges!
Even comparing salaries by so called "field" is a dubious comparison as men and women do not exactly work in the same kind of job! Men and women choose different jobs that a paid differently for various reasons!
"... The US National Science Foundation’s Survey of Earned Doctorates tracked more than 55,700 people who earned PhDs between 1 July 2018 and 31 June 2019, including more than 33,900 PhD recipients in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and more than 9,000 in psychology and social sciences. ...
Among those with a permanent job at hand, men reported an expected median annual salary of US$95,000. Women reported a expected median salary of $72,500, a gap of $22,500. ...
Men were over-represented in relatively high-paying fields such as computer science and engineering, but disparities persisted even within fields. Men with permanent jobs in the life sciences, for example, reported an expected median salary of $87,000, compared with $80,000 for women. In mathematics and computer sciences, men reported an expected median salary of $125,000; for women, that figure was $101,500. But the gender gap in salary essentially disappeared among postdoctoral researchers. In life sciences, for example, male and female postdocs both reported a median expected salary of $50,000. ..."

Unprecedented study finds NZ universities paying woman academics $400,000 less than men
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!
