The Sociological Debate:The Gender Pay Gap

關於一個社會問題的討論——性別收入差異

一、原文及譯文

1.The “gender gap” in pay is a widely recognized fact.Even as recently as 1994,women who worked full time year round(that is,more than 35 hours per week for 42 weeks per year)earned only 72 percent as much as men.What could account for this discrepancy?
