Is that good? Is it fair?
Would we support schools paying male teachers more than female teachers in an effort to get equality in the work place?
Great pressure to hire women in STEM, and there are fewer of them. I’m not sure about the specific case you are mentioning, but most savvy employers are more cautious because Title VII works both ways.
At one company I worked for, we would make base salaries similar, but we would definitely give women larger hiring bonuses. (We would also give larger bonuses based on college, etc.). Perhaps a women would get 3 months hiring bonus and a man 1 month.
The flip-side would be male nurses.
while women were more disadvantaged than men in 43 countries. Men are worse off in the US and most European nations including Russia.
