Salary gap between men and women-Nov 6

Today I read an article about a survey carried out in the UK which tracked 25,000 students 3 years after graduation. It shows that inequality between men and women is a stubborn reality and that not even higher education can bridge the gap. Women have to work their way up in their careers, they accept more part-time jobs and those below their expectations and they are hindered by choices involving traditional roles in the family. They also get paid less in full-time graduate jobs even before having children. We seem to be a long way from real equality.
