Abstract: It is widely believed that one of the achievements in recent decades has been the closing of the wage gap between men and women. In any single year, this is true. But measured over fifteen years, these economists finds that women's earnings are still far behind men's. They still cannot work as many hours, in large part because they must still bear most of the burden of family demands and child rearing.
