This week's article dives a bit deeper into determinants of pay for  women vs men, attempting to better understand the gender pay gap.  Early  career college graduates are mostly paid the same regardless of  gender.  Over time the gap between men and women emerges and ultimately  becomes very significant. What do you think of this analysis? The  authors of the studies cited in the article claim motherhood is a major  cause.  Is this argument convincing, why/why not?  As a policy maker,  would you try to deal with this issue?  If yes, what would you do and  why?  If no, why not?
