Indicates that, correcting for other factors, new female college graduates are paid perhaps 5 cents less than men, and that that discrimination may play a role in explaining some of that. It is not me saying this, it's buried in the AAUW report.

For men and women who never marry and never have children, there is no earnings gap.

I'm old enough that I have seen it first hand, too. In later years, I've seen the opposite. Public policy should not be based on anecdotes, especially not ones 20 years out of date.
