I heard about a lot of companies who hire women specifically so they can pay them less.

That make me wonder, in a perfect world where there is no pay gap, what would be the effect on woman employment rate.

Would companies hire equal percentage of workers from both genders or would something else happen?

    I think you’re underestimating how deep the pay gap goes.

    “women’s work” jobs are so consistently paid less that mere career choice is a huge part of the pay gap.
