Numerous studies concerning the differences between men and women have already proved the presence of a significant gap in salaries: women consistently earn less than men. A lot less discussed are the differences between women mutually, even though they are found to be existing.
However mothers make up the greatest part of the current workforce, they obviously earn much less than their single counterparts. Following a study, conducted by the Bar-Ilan University of Israel, the key reason for this pay gap is the fact that married women, in general, work fewer hours compared to men or single women. After all, in this study, more than thirty-five percent of married women had children under the age of seventeen, which meant they had to give up precious working time for child-rearing and housekeeping.
Eliminating this non-equilibrium will take an enormous remodeling of the infrastructure for looking after children. The question arises if men are humble enough to take this alteration.
