【正确答案】Although men and women in the same occupation are almost the same as the starting salary, a recent study on the wage gap between men and women have forecast that it is minimal to eliminate the possibility of wage differentials as a whole in the foreseeable future. This is caused by various factors. Even if these factors will change, they are also likely to be very slow. The unavailable of elimination in the wage gap between men and women is that women are concentrated in clerical and service sectors, and in these traditional sectors male wage is more than female.
Another important reason that leads to the growing wage gap between men and women is that, even in comparable occupations, women are often shift work to homemakers in her career at the crucial moment. Our research repeatedly shows that in the 25-year-old to 35-year-old age group, the unremitting efforts of the work is very important to get promotion. It is precisely in this age group that women may give birth to a child and therefore begin to lag behind men in income.
