Abstract: Abstract The pay position of females is becoming an increasingly important issue in the analyses of poverty and income distribution. Although the relationship between the wages of an individual and the long-run wealth of a family unit is extremely complex, the wages of females have important implications for the income position of various groups including the poor, those families who are out of poverty simply because both husband and wife work, the working poor, female-headed households, as well as single unattached females.
