Why do 60% of women claim a gender pay gap, but only 15% claim gender discrimination?

It's primarily caused by other factors. http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Nata... On average, women work fewer hours per week than men. Women often take time away from their careers/work when they give birth and have young children.

This work experience "gap" affects their earning potential. Men and women tend to choose very different occupations. For example, a low skill female worker may take a job as an administrative assistant while a low skill male worker may take a job doing physical labor.

A man may choose to study mechanical engineering while a woman chooses elementary education. Various other factors.

I can tell you that at certain mid-level professional or managerial positions in an office, pay can vary a lot by the person, regardless if that person is male or female, for the same jobs. Management and specifically people in charge of hiring often have wide discretion to negotiate salary. From my own observation, I have noticed that women tend to settle on lower salaries whereas men tend to push this process further.

And once you lock your salary in upon being hired, it's extremely difficult to "catch up" to the rest of your peers. There are a few notable exceptions (the expression "On Wheels" comes to mind), but this has been my experience.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
