Question: What is the biggest reason for gender disparity in median earnings? When a man and a woman hold the same position in the same workplace, women are paid much less. Hiring committees are male-dominated, and they tend to appoint men to higher positions upon entering an organization. Occupational segregation leaves women in female-dominated occupations with lower status and lower pay. Men have entered female-dominated professions at higher rates than women have entered male-dominated professions.
