Emeritus Prof Christopher May

An interesting aspect of the gender pay gap.

In the past gay women have had a pay premium over similar heterosexual women; research suggests, perhaps unsurprisingly that a lack of family breaks for gay women has enabled them to engineer more highly paid careers;

But that premium is declining; partly (possibly) due to a slow decrease in discrimination around family/career breaks... but also perhaps because more female gay families are having children?
