Equal Education, Equal Pay: Closing the Gender Wage Gap Even
with moves toward equalizing pay between men and women, men
still make almost 20% more than women in nearly all industries.
This is despite the fact that women receive the same education,
with the same tuition price tags and levels of debt upon
graduation. The only major differences are that there are more
ladies in college and they have better average GPAs to boot. The
benefits of paying women their fair share include increasing the
GDP while reducing the poverty rates for families.
