The reasons behind the gender pay gap are complex & quite varied, including occupational segregation,. personality variables, maternity leaves, education levels, experience, tenure, incentive structures, etc, in addition to discrimination. I agree with the concept of equal pay for equal work, certainly, but if one was to consider the amount of extra unpaid work taken on (or just work in general taken on) by women vs. men, the calculation would become quite complex.
