Is there a gender gap? Why does it exist? How is this an economic issue?

Answer 1

Yes, there is a gender gap. It exists due to the historic role of women in America before the service economy.

This is an economic issue because women make approximately $.70 for every $1.00 a male makes.

The gap is quickly shrinking now that females outnumber males in college enrollment.

Answer 2

Yes. Yes. Partly.
