how might social facts explain the existence of the wage gap? - Answers these typically rule one's work
despite what people try to put on biology
(ie: STEM vs. caregiving occupations and expectations)
index of occupational segregation - Answers a number ranging from 0-100 summarizing the extent to
which 2 groups (m&w) work in different occupations. It is a measurement representing the proportion
of male or female workers who would have to change to an occupation in which their sex is

complete distribution across jobs. currently, we are at the halfway mark at achieving total integration.

Considering "The Second Shift," is there an unequal allocation of housework and family care? - Answers
yes! much of women's work is organizational and hence invisible. women do a larger share of the actual
tasks involved in housework
how much time do men and women spend doing housework? - Answers since 1965, the number of
women's hours has declined by half and men's hours have increased slightly, but overall, women do
more hours of housework than men
what is the second shift? - Answers working women work a full day of paid work and then come home to
work another full-time job doing unpaid housework and family care. Men's contribution to housework is
not affected by whether or not they are married and is only slightly affected when having children;
women are affected greatly for both.
what is the "sandwich generation"? - Answers people who care for children and elderly parents at the
same time
what are the consequences of how the "second shift" contributes to the wage gap? - Answers 1.
women's responsibilities in the home require them to seek jobs with *flexible schedules* or those that
do not penalize for long breaks in employment. these jobs are not as well paid as male-dominated jobs
2. women often *drop out* of the labor force during the prime career advancement ages (25-35)
3. *elder care* leads to a substantial drop in women's paid work hours
what can we conclude about the wage gap? - Answers it is due, in large part, to women's primary
responsibilities for domestic work
