TITLE 

How Bias and Behavior Perpetuate the Gender Wage Gap

ABSTRACT

This talk explores the persistent issue of the gender wage gap through the lens of behavioral economics and social biases. While strides have been made toward closing the gap, women still earn less on average than men, even after accounting for factors like education, experience, and occupation. We will examine how implicit biases, workplace norms, and decision-making behaviors contribute to this disparity. By analyzing both employer and employee perspectives, we reveal how positive intentions, and behavioral patterns reinforce existing wage inequalities.
