In Thomas Sowell’s book Economic Facts and Fallacies, he devotes a chapter to the wage gap. According to his research, it’s all driven by the different behaviors men and women engage in as a result of marriage. Once married, men work more and women work less. This affects the rest of their career. If you look at never married men and women in the same field, with the same amount of work experience, at say, age 65, there’s no wage gap.
