A differential in the relative earnings for a particular job that is not based on the job itselfbut rather based on gender. It measures the inequality for the earnings of men and womenin their respective jobs.2. History of the wage gapa. From 1760-1840, during the industrial revolution in Great Britain, wage gaps among menand women were influenced by culture and the economy. Historians and economists viewthe gender wage gap disparity as a result of either: A lack of productivity by womencompared to men or as an inferior view of men on women based on factors such asphysical ability.3. Includes 5 images of women either working in factories or of the factories themselves during theIndustrial Revolution in Great Britain to represent and show that women were a part of theworking force during this time (1760-1840).Page 31.
