GENDER GAP In the context of economic inequality, gender gap generally refers to the systemic differences in the Social and Economic position of Men and Women , or Boys and Girls . There is a debate to what extent this is the result of Gender Differences or because of Discrimination . The widespread mechanization of industry has been accompanied by a shift in gender differentials in highly industrialized countries. However, this closing of the gender gap has not necessarily been followed in less industrialized countries. Some studies, including those done by the Independent Women's Forum , conclude that when taking into account variables when comparing male and female employment within the United States - same job, time worked, benefits (for example maternity leave) - women make 98 cents to the dollar of a man. This is without taking into account that full time employed men work on average 8 hours more per week than full time employed women. SEE ALSO
