The "women are paid less" nonsense is feminist mantra that is steadily being exposed for the lie it truly is.

If women were truly less paid for equal work, all corporations would simply hire only women and all men would be unemployed. This doesn't happen because corportations have learned that women are less productive than men. A corportation that hired only women, who were paid less than men, would quickly be bankrupt.

Women are not paid less than men - anywhere on the planet, in either communist or capitlist systems. Women are paid what they are worth.

Women are paid what they are worth, which is inevitably less than a man as women:
- work shorter hours
- take more short breaks (lunch hrs)
- take long term breaks (child rearing)
- etc, etc, etc ...

well its one of those things that are a bit hard ot answer if one looks at pure logic...if everyone would receive a a compesnation to commensurate with the value of the product they produced then (my general guess is) that more than half the real issues will get sorted out..however..in general that's not how things work..here are some of the basic reasons for this income disparity
1] most jobs available in the unorganised sectors are those involving manual labour, which has traditionally been thought of as work that women can perform with lesser efficiency (im not sure how much water that hold, but then i've enever had to do manual labour...so i can't tell either). hence less money.
2] the general understanding that when supply of labour is huge the people demanding it can push down the price hugely. look at tit this way, every employer knows that the women approaching him to work as casual labour and doing it because they desperately need it, so why pay fair wages when they can "not" pay them...

Bcos, in un organised sector, men can be used for multipurposes, such as if they want to send them to get a xerox copy some km away from the office, they can be sent. Also, men will leave the job if they get a good job and not a momen and usually women comes to work for additional pay to her family and so they don't demand much.

Once you adjust for actual work experience, they aren't. Most studies, that are not politically motivated, agree to this.

Often women make different career choices in order to have /raise children. They remain at home rather than travel, work fewer hours (say a forty hour week on salary instead of a fifty hour one), or take off time to have children (it might be fair to allow maternity leave, but it isn't the same as work experience).

The pay gap is a myth.
