Maternity Leave and the Gender Wage Gap : An Analysis of New Jersey Family Leave Insurance

Author

Abstract

Women, on average, are paid less than men. According to the 2015 report prepared by the Institute for Women's Policy Research (IWPR), female full-time workers in the United States received only 81 cents for every dollar earned by men; this difference amounts to a gender wage gap of 19 percent.
