The Gender Pay Gap in 2022 (Claudia Goldin Interview) 

and women are making different life and career decisions, it’s not an issue.

There is no gender pay gap. It's been illegal for 50 years!

Hey guys! I just came up with a great idea! Let's get together and start a company that hires only women. We would have a huge competitive advantage over our competitors because we won't have to pay our employees as much because of the gender pay gap! We will be billionaires! Who's with me?!

@@cremelynn6339 I find a disproportionate number of my Amazon delivery drivers to be women. Seems like Jeff is taking advantage of that, but then again, I haven't asked thier gender. Is this something we should address? Is there a gender pay gap?

@@ikilledthemoon so when men take time off for surgery's, their pay goes down? Please send a link to that information.

This ignorant argument has not been proven by any economic study, has been debunked by David in other videos, and is literally debunked in this video.

@@ninij9692 what?

So quit and find an easier job.

@@jkovert Unfortunately it`s the nature of my profession.

@@Alex_Plante Find a different profession.

@@jkovert too late.

@@Alex_Plante It's never too late to stop complaining.

Exactly.

She’s confirmed the findings of every gender pay gap critic have been saying for a decade and they gave her a Nobel Prize - guess why ? Because she’s a woman.

The notion that it's a "choice" is not entirely true. Societal expectations about gender roles shape that "choice" and put women at a disadvantage economically. And not everybody understands that raising your own children means stunting your employment opportunities later in life, salary and amount of pension you receive in retirement

@@user-xv3xr2ig3e If the societal expectations hypothesis were true, we would expect to find that in more socially egalitarian countries men and women choose the most similar jobs. Yet we find precisely the opposite. The more socially egalitarian the country, the more _different_ men and women's choices are.

​@synchronium24 I'm not trying to say that preferences between genders do not exist at all. I'm saying that people's choices are influenced by societal pressures and structures such as gender norms and parental leave structures. I personally would not prefer my wife be the main breadwinner because I do care about how people perceive me as a man. The outcomes of choosing one option over another are different for men and women. And ultimately it tends to result in disadvantaged economic outcomes for women especially if their male partner leaves. The way I have read this comment is that these structures which disadvantage women economically in the long term do not need to be changed because women or couples chose for the woman to be the primary caregiver and so must deal with the consequences. We as a society have the ability to organise structures better to give fairer or more balanced outcomes for both men and women.

Pakman has always been skeptical of the wage gap for reasons unknown. Pretty sure one reason he brought this professor on was he thought she'd agree with him on this but she did the opposite. Hopefully she gave him a good reason to change his thinking.

In looking at college attendance numbers, 60% women, 40% men.

@@kstrazz3552 uhhhh, you can lead a horse to water?

@@kstrazz3552 that’s not inequity because it’s an individual option based upon personal, not societal, choices.

@@pixie6133 Because women get special grants just for being women.

@@KV-nh1ts Holy crap! Really? Where do I sign up? I've never had one of those. Still paying my student loans...

here's another way: redefine what it is to be a woman. :)

Err, women without children, that work the same number of days as men do experience a pay gap.

@@pixie6133 right. in many cases, they actually earn more than men. these ladies are tough as nails.

Have you links to studies that support this thesis? I would very-much like to read about this and what the real numbers say. Anecdotally, this is not what I, as a health care professional, have observed, but anecdote isn’t evidence. Thank you, @Evirthewarrior

An even larger consideration is the cumulative impact of the gender wage gap on all women working full time in the United States. Collectively, more than 55 million full-time working women earned an estimated $545.7 billion less than their male counterparts in 2019.20 If the gender wage gap had been closed entirely, this would have meant an additional $545.7 billion in the pockets of working women and their families-about $9,613.13 per woman-to cover student loan payments, mortgage payments, child care costs, prescription costs, groceries, emergency expenses, and more

Your comment is 5 minutes old, and the interview is over 19 minutes. How can you rate or judge the interview having not viewed it in it's entirety?

Blue Anon has many conspiracy theories.

So say Joseph, Kevin, and Peter...experts on the subject.

@@pixie6133 so says any one that understands you cant do a uni-varient analysis on something and expect for rational people go along with it. Numerous multi variant analysis have been done and each one shows that the claim of "men make more than women because of gender" to be false.

@@chesterlestrange7725 Oh, that's interesting. Please provide the sources...

@@chesterlestrange7725 Go ahead and post it here friend. Enlighten all of us eager to learn. 😉

Don't miss his interview with Brian Benjamin.

Hey guys! I just came up with a great idea! Let's get together and start a company that hires only women. We would have a huge competitive advantage over our competitors because we won't have to pay our employees as much because of the gender pay gap! We will be billionaires! Who's with me?!

@@cremelynn6339 "start a company that hires only women" Wouldn't that be discriminatory ?

@@peterbills4129 It's a rhetorical statement. His argument is that if there was a pay gap companies would do that and most workers would be women because companies could pay them less and the fact that this isn't the case means that there is no actual pay gap

@@cremelynn6339 you don’t even have a basic grasp on the gender pay gap

@@cremelynn6339 if men don't get their shxt together women will be the only ones worth hiring... the future idea is happening now....

The problem is if the society promotes those choices. In the examples she gave, it wasn't truly up to the parents if they wanted to do it or not, they pretty much had to pick one of them to focus on the career and the other one not too.

Yeah, having kids is kind of a lot more difficult than attending a job to go through the motions and only one sex can physically do it, but it doesn't pay anything. Sexism is a huge problem, I just get annoyed with all this dancing around the issues. It's sexual dimorphism and division of labor in reproduction. That's why all politicians say as the architects of society is "Jobs families, families jobs." To hell with their jobs and families. They want more people to exploit, and they want to exploit every individual to the maximum regardless of sex.

@@SquarelyGames But that's nature: the useless male is supposed to bring the female resources during the long period of encephalization that compromises her abilities in that regard. It's lame and sucks, but that's why it's set up like this, not out of mean spirited patriarchal volition per se. Infant mortality was upwards 50% about two centuries ago, and social mores change slowly. It's amazing how malleable they've become, actually. Almost makes me hopeful. Back in the day, societies that didn't forcibly sustain a birth rate of about 8 kids to a fertile woman just got annihilated by their neighbors who did. That's why this mess of a world: reproduction is brutally difficult.

@@SquarelyGames I'm not sure what the alternative is. If you want career advancement 80% isn't going to cut it. In many competitive careers, 100% isn't going to cut it either. You have to stay overtime and work harder than your peers to excel. This reality brings up a contradiction in her argument. She doesn't like the fact that one partner needs to sacrifice their career for the sake of the family but she also suggests a model where both partners compromise with 80%/80%. Maybe she explains it in her book but why is an 80% career necessarily desirable or adequate for a man or woman who is serious about excelling in their field? My guess is that there are couple who would do an 80%/80% split if the job conditions were right, but there are other couple who wouldn't see the point. You could play around with hypothetical incentives to make it work but I'm not convinced it would be a realistic solution.

@@SandhillCrane42 "having kids is kind of a lot more difficult than attending a job to go through the motions" Which job? And are we talking about a job or a career? If family expenses are largely shared between husband/wife why do we care who works for it? I.e. it's not that women are necessarily receiving/spending 82 cents to a dollar a man does. From what I can gather from Goldin's brief segment, it's that she is unhappy that women are forced to shelve their career aspirations due to societal and monetary concerns. That's a completely different issue and a problem confined to wealthy couples who have the luxury to choose one partner working less. "Sexism is a huge problem". In what way specifically? You just said sexual dimorphism is to blame. Nature isn't fair but it can hardly be said to be sexist. Nothing prevents the man from dropping down to part time/stay at home once the baby is born.

As of 2018 statistics, one in three companies promoted women to senior roles. Women held at least 31% of the management positions.

They missed the pink tax.

@@pixie6133 just looked it up and it kind of is an important issue Now that I would consider true discrimination and a very important issue

@@timothykauffman2442 Awesome that you took the time to look it up and consider the ramifications. 👏

@@pixie6133 and thank you for pointing it out I learned something new today.

@@pixie6133 Doesn’t exist

That's horrifying if her prize is for anything related to the shoddy analysis she gives in this video.

Would like to see her debate Thomas Sowell.

Right?! Rehashing patriarchy is exhausting.

@@pixie6133 Restating bullshit is highly obnoxious

treating people "equally" is not...

I can offer a personal anecdote for motivation to achieve a graduate degree. It helps with the gender pay gap. It's the best way to make better money for a woman.

It simple it's not because of her wild assumptions of criminals and drug addicts it's because women are pretty useless in the jobs that really matter the one that make the world go round ( infrastructure jobs ) since women pretty much suck at everything they have the time and willingness to waste some poor guys time and money to go to school and then get a useless degree and still not make as much as a guy who works a trade with no degree plus they have affirmative action and all kinds of help and hand outs because they bleed once a month

Do you always eat what the likes of Ben Shapiro and Steven crowder shit out or is this a unique feces meal you frequent?

watch the vid first dumdum Harvard proved you wrong.....

Is this a running joke that i don't know about? Cause that take is brain dead

Cover charges and ladies nights? What? Personal care products labeled and marketed for women but that are exact (or close enough) replicas of products labeled for men (things like lotions, chafing powder, shower gel, deodorant, shaving cream, razors) are almost always significantly higher priced for women. That's called the "pink tax" if you aren't familiar. Then there's haircuts, dry cleaning, clothing, auto insurance and even auto repairs. Add in the monthly items that men will never need to buy and already you're looking at a significant "cost gap". Add that to the pay gap and women will never have a chance to catch up.

@@terised scholarships overwhelmingly favor women. Cancer public funding covers female parts better than male parts. Family courts favor women. The nickels and dimes of your so called "pink tax" are products where anyone could reasonably purchase a pink or blue product. Places where it matters and it's unavoidable favor females. Oh, and let's not forget conscription. You want freedoms to earn more? Let me know when you register for the draft.

@@terised Ok, so it’s a “pink tax” of women choose to buy products that are marked up more than equivalent products marketed to men? Sounds like you are calling women stupid, because only an idiot would pay more for basically the same thing. Haircuts and dry cleaning are on average more expensive for women because their hair is longer. What do you wanna do about that? Also, the whole monthly item thing is dumb. It’s completely fails to consider that there may be things men have to buy that women don’t. Like for example, there is a substantial difference in the amount of food a man has to consume compared to a woman. If you run the numbers, the difference is not trivial. And, in case you didn’t know this, the pay gap doesn’t exist. Nice job spouting some bullshit though.

@@mgaus Lol I enlisted in the military the summer after high school. When did you join? And auto insurance and repairs aren't nickel and dime items. They can easily add up to tens of thousands over a lifetime. Let me know when you decide to get pregnant and carry a fetus to term.

it’s crazy that you think this is some crazy notion, when it’s obvious why those who a) get harassed more and b) grow up in a society that prioritizes men might be less likely to ask/get a promotion or a raise

There is lmao

@@chrisbrowy929 🤡

Yes there should. Women go in to lower paying industries. STEM has minimal women and those industries pay much better than communications and marketing for example

Hey guys! I just came up with a great idea! Let's get together and start a company that hires only women. We would have a huge competitive advantage over our competitors because we won't have to pay our employees as much because of the gender pay gap! We will be billionaires! Who's with me?!

@@mikecantreed "Women go in to lower paying industries." Only in countries where gender differences are embraced. If we recognize men can be women, we can find a most equitable forum for discussion.

Do some research on Google or something, this theory is a myth brought on by modern feminism. At first it may seem the case, but when you dig deeper you'll see that it's bs.

@@wisdom9091 no, the Court's figure out how much it cost for the children, and then they take a percentage out of each person's pay to get to that number. There are plenty of women today that pay alimony and child support to ex-husbands.

Are you familiar with Professor Goldin’s work? Since you did not watch, I’m suspecting not.

Choosing to remain ignorant...and proudly proclaiming it. Good look.

@@galvanaut7119 I've watched numerous things in the past on this subject. Thanks.

@@goldentaco4970 i've watched the same make believe "things" from the university of phrenology...gfy

I have the same mindset, and it's exactly why I plan on watching it. Everywhere I look I see teenagers BTFO people, claiming women get paid half of what men. I get it shoved down my throat through entertainment I like. All these unqualified people with bias and a desire for attention. Well, here are two people whose only agenda that I can see, is the truth. And if they are right, I don't know. It still ruins the show when out of nowhere a great episode shoehorns an irrelevant political take, I can't deny that, but if it's true I imagine I will find it more palatable. I do feel as though it's a distraction from the economic reality of America though. That is to say the lower classes are struggling to survive. And then there are rich CEO's who want to whine about a glass ceiling preventing them from making 5 million more annually. Meanwhile half the country works for Walmart, the other half Amazon, and they are all making minimum wage. Both things can matter at once, but I'm sorry, maybe this is my bias, I don't care that you feel like you're trapped making less of an absurd fortune than your rich counterparts. People are struggling to survive. I lived in a car in Chicago winters with a fulltime job. My empathy goes with the poor and struggling. None the less giving them a shot.

It's in their DNA.
