In many countries, including the United States, the gender pay gap still exists.

This refers to the difference in average earnings between men and women, with women typically earning less than men for the same job or work of equal value.

The gender pay gap has persisted despite efforts to reduce it and is influenced by a range of factors, including occupational segregation, discrimination, and the unequal distribution of caring responsibilities.

According to the World Economic Forum, it will take more than 200 years to close the global gender pay gap at the current rate of progress.
