Closing the gender pay gap begins with awareness and understanding
of the state of the gap. This hybrid book that serves as a resource
for both the academic and corporate communities, builds the
reader's awareness of the gender pay gap, its magnitude and
ramifications, and provides action plans to address the challenge.
Much of the existing literature on the gender pay gap provides an
excellent foundation in stating facts and inferences; yet, the
reader is often left wondering "now what?" This book tells the
story of the state of the gap by the numbers and then offers
specific actions that can be taken to achieve equity. The authors
combine backgrounds in statistics and management/HR to provide a
unique perspective in painting a broader overview of the issue,
examining the history of the gender pay gap, its global impact, and
how nations are addressing the issue. The book shines a light on
the wide-ranging effects of the gap, including women's poverty
rates, student loans, economic growth, childhood poverty, and
corporate profits, and offers insights to help close it with best
practices of select organizations. Upper-level undergraduate,
postgraduate, and executive education students will appreciate the
clarity and conciseness of this guide to understanding and solving
an important human resources issue. The inclusion of a brief
instructor's manual and PowerPoint slides for each chapter
differentiates this book and adds to the ease of adoption in both
the academic and corporate setting.
