Different cultural values and personal values may cause self-selection to occur on both sides of the compensation conversation. Some women may pursue less lucrative fields, some women may leave the workforce to pursue other values, and some women may feel less entitled and therefore fail to self-advocate. However, these sentiments are caused by external factors, such as company culture, co-worker bias, and influence of friends/peers.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, gender still plays a role in selecting certain fields

# data[].attributes.body
i feel like it depends on the industry (being apart of education vs science vs business). it also changes as time goes on as shown through the graphs on the prezi

# data[].attributes.body
it has been traditional that women don't go into roles that are more physical since they have worked from home for a while. Therefore, they are underpaid when it comes to physical workforces such as construction. However, when it comes to human interactions and management, women are tend to be seen as better when it comes to managing since they are more "emotional" and empathetic.

# data[].attributes.body
I think there's a gender disparity between different professions because there's still gender stereotyping in the work force

# data[].attributes.body
I think theres two factors: social norms and gendered tendencies. In psychology, we studied that males are less likely to go to higher education. As you go from highschool to PHD, women tend to be more highly education. I know particularly at constructions sites and other technical jobs typically it’s males that didn’t want to go to college. Meanwhile, a lot of female highschool grads due to social Norms don’t see that as an option and tend to go for administrative positions or go to college

# data[].attributes.body
At a young age, girls and boys can be pushed into certain job fields based on stereotypes and social norms.

# data[].attributes.body
They can, when looking at the disparity between men and women in the field of construction this can be seen. Women are not encouraged to go into these fields and are still subject to certain stereotypes that lead them to not applying to male dominated fields. This can be seen in other sectors as well, such as the medical field where women are encouraged to become a nurse rather than a doctor. All of these pressures can lead to a pay gap.

# data[].attributes.body
I think self-selection do play a role in gender pay gap. I think there is a different in what men like to do and women like to do. So the job we chose create a a pay gab.

# data[].attributes.body
Perception, social norms, and how people are raised result in men and women going into certain professions and fields.

# data[].attributes.body
Women are discouraged when they see the disparity of success by women in certain fields, so they go into different professions

# data[].attributes.body
Definitely still plays a role, women are constantly discouraged and directed toward specific fields even at a young age

# data[].attributes.body
Women are seen as not being able to do certain jobs and thus this stereotype creates industries discriminating against women with a wage gap.

# data[].attributes.body
Some professions promote different skills sets such as "hard" and "soft" skills. These disciplines attract men and women to them which furthers the division.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because some industries are dominated by a certain gender. For example, elementary school teachers are predominantly women.

# data[].attributes.body
Existing Gender roles in older women like Gen X who may have not even gone to college

# data[].attributes.body
Personal and professional bias. People tend to view themselves as fit for a certain role in a career based on how they have seen others and how they view their gender professionally.

# data[].attributes.body
When girls are growing up they are often told that they are weaker and more sensitive. In school, when textbooks were asked to be passed out or carried the teacher would always ask for "strong boys." Women are discouraged and may have imposter syndrome when joining fields that are more male dominated.

# data[].attributes.body
Gender stereotypes that people have grown up hearing may affect their decisions on which industries and occupations to go into.

# data[].attributes.body
Due to preconceived gender stereotypes, men and women enter certain industries which they feel cater to their skills which are impacted by their gender. With this happening for so long, people have bought in to these stereotypes resulting in a continuous cycle of certain fields being dominated by one gender, resulting in a pay gap.

# data[].attributes.body
Many women do not pursue STEM or business majors, and because these are the high paying fields, it can play a role in the gender pay gap.

Jack Mutzig

# data[].attributes.body
The gender pay gap is attributed to a variety of factors. Some include women being told what industries to go into based on stereotypes. Women are also considered more soft spoken and sensitive not willing to speak up or ask for equal pay.

# data[].attributes.body
From a young age, women are encouraged to go into certain fields due to existing gender roles.

# data[].attributes.body
Gender influences self-selection because each industry has different cultures with respect to workplace diversity and accommodations which could prevent women from choosing certain jobs.

# data[].attributes.body
Certain industries and jobs have a stereotype of being for one gender only. While in school, men and women are encouraged to go into different industries and take on different roles in society. Women are given the stereotype of being nurturing and caring while men are more professional and are thought to be hard working. Because of these gendered roles, the pay gap exists.

# data[].attributes.body
Stereotypes of particular occupations, ex: certain jobs repeatedly portrayed by a certain gender on TV/social media.

# data[].attributes.body
Since the majority of women enter management and professional jobs, there is a bigger disparity in wages between men and women. Some occupations have lower wage rates than others, usually occupations that women are involved in. I believe that gender and social norms play a huge role in the pay gap.

# data[].attributes.body
Self-selection may possibly create a gender-pay gap in certain industries because men and women specialize and are interested in different things

# data[].attributes.body
When viewing the data of how many women work in professional and related occupations, vs the amount of men that work in production, transportation and construction, it starts to get confusing. However, I have heard that the construction, or more "blue collar" jobs actually make a lot of money. So, it may play a role. More data centered around the average pay of each occupation would help answer this question.

# data[].attributes.body
women are sometimes expected to go into specific industries and not seem as "qualified" as men in other industries

# data[].attributes.body
People from each gender may have their own personal preferences where they tend to choose certain types of jobs over others. This may be due to the type of work, work environment, work/life balance, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Women are influenced to go into more humanities based professions while stem professions are geared more towards men which usually pay higher. This can make a difference in wages between men and women.

# data[].attributes.body
Women choosing which profession to join in might create a pay gap because, some professions tend to be considered a man’s job. Such as a police officer job or military. women would be paid less because they are seem weaker than a man

# data[].attributes.body
Gender disparity can be attributed to many factors in our society. From an early age we are taught what certain jobs are dominated by the specific genders (i.e., media shows men mostly working construction and women working as nurses).

# data[].attributes.body
Young men are instilled a sense that they need to be the provider whereas young women are often encouraged to be nurturers.

# data[].attributes.body
No, whatever role a woman has selected, a man has as well but the pay is still different
We were born into learning that women are naturally underrepresented and weaker

# data[].attributes.body
From a young age, I believe that social norms as well as parental values essentially create a certain path for women into the workforce.

# data[].attributes.body
Traditionally, women are encouraged to go into fields beginning at a young age, such as women are 'supposed' to be teachers while men are pressured to be the provider of the household.

# data[].attributes.body
Like others have said, societally, women and men are encouraged and discouraged from certain professions. Even when breaking through these, work environmentalists are harder for women when majority male.

# data[].attributes.body
Certain industries pay higher than other industries. Women and Men are brought up in different ways and encouraged to go certain ways by society

# data[].attributes.body
Due to culture pushing men and women to think and act a certain way, women have been expected to take certain jobs that can impact the gender-pay gap in the workforce.

# data[].attributes.body
Different genders are groomed to feel more comfortable going into different fields. For example, people are usually taught primarily by female teachers growing up, so women are therefore more likely to go into that role. This same phenomenon applies across all jobs in the workforce.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that women tend to go into certain fields due to various social norms which plays a large role in the gender-pay gap.

# data[].attributes.body
There are certain paths women are told to be in. When going against that there is a lot of negativity and rejection in male dominated fields.

# data[].attributes.body
In some cases, women and men tend to gravitate toward different fields, which may be due to gender expectations/social norms

# data[].attributes.body
i think that women often feel discouraged from joining male-dominated industries because of how they are treated in those industries. it's hard for women to want to join majors, programs, professions etc when they are treated as though they are inferior. also, gender norms may encourage a lot of women to stay in female-dominated spaces because that's where they "should be"/"belong"

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of the times there are jobs women often are not even considering, but there are more programs that encourage women to join the industry where they are the minority.

# data[].attributes.body
Women pay choose a certain industry that they feel more comfortable in while that might create lower wages for them.

# data[].attributes.body
Existing gender roles

# data[].attributes.body
Woman are discouraged from joining fields that are predominantly male in fear of not being given the opportunities to grow and become more successful in a company.

# data[].attributes.body
Traditional gender stereotypes may still play a role

# data[].attributes.body
Women are encouraged to go into specific, low-paying fields, at a young age. While men are encouraged to do the opposite.

# data[].attributes.body
Social norms and stereotypes play a major role in the gender-pay gap. Also, women are sometimes perceived as more sensitive and they are encouraged to go into certain fields, whereas men's social norms are much more broad.

# data[].attributes.body
How people are raised. Expectations of "working around the house".

# data[].attributes.body
I think one thing that has had a huge impact on this is that women are expected to go into specific fields starting at a young age.

# data[].attributes.body
Women have always been seen as weaker, more sensitive, don't have the same drive as a man, would rather be at home taking care of kids. Many women don't feel as confident or worthy of asking for a raise or applying for certain jobs because they know they are seen as below men or don't want to get laughed at. Or they do try and they get overshadowed by men.

# data[].attributes.body
Women are encouraged to go into certain fields from a young age. Ex. women are nurses doctors are men

# data[].attributes.body
Socialization. Women may not feel as comfortable/confident asking for raises or increased pay.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes; certain industries are dominated by one gender over another, and that can be seen in the gender compensation gap within those industries.

# data[].attributes.body
No, regardless of how many women are in the workforce that doesn’t constitute or justify the pay difference. Just pay the same amount. A Stigma of women that creates a bias plays a role.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, women are perceived as more sensitive. Men are better considered for construction and moving occupations due to their strength.

# data[].attributes.body
Children are raised to identify with social norms associated with their gender, which discourages women and men from going into certain fields.

# data[].attributes.body
Men are overrepresented in blue collar occupations. Women have more representation in higher salary industries. If anything, self selection should cause women to earn more than men. So no, self selection is not a major factor in the pay gap.

# data[].attributes.body
self selection in certain industries definitely plays a role in the pay gap. certain industries, like social work and education, pay less, yet many females gravitate towards those careers. Other factors that play a role in the pay gap are maternity leave.

# data[].attributes.body
Social norms, stereotypes implicitly conform women and men into certain professions

# data[].attributes.body
Some people may choose lower paying jobs to be more comfortable in the workplace, such as women in the education career

# data[].attributes.body
Women often feel uncomfortable asking for pay raises and feel as if they are taught from a young age that there are only certain fields that women are allowed to work in.

# data[].attributes.body
There are some industries that naturally pay higher than others which are male dominated. However, this does not mean that the women in those fields should make less. Fields that are high paying are some times fields that people do not want to join.

# data[].attributes.body
I think  in some industries one gender tend to work harder than the other in that case a gender-pay gap make a lot of sense.

# data[].attributes.body
There is a larger number of men in the workforce compared to women, especially in certain work fields. Also comfort plays a role and how women feel in the workplace.

# data[].attributes.body
Not selecting/going into the other industries based on preference leading to an underrepresentation of women in that industry

# data[].attributes.body
the gender pay gap wont grow if women dont get into those high profile/class positions

# data[].attributes.body
Self selection leads certain industries to be gender dominated, and those industries may pay more or less.

# data[].attributes.body
Some various industries may be more appealing to certain genders and these various industries have various salaries.

# data[].attributes.body
In many different cultures, women are expected to take care of families or work jobs that are more "domestic". They likely feel more dominated by males as a result when they do enter the workforce because of the environments they have grown up with.

# data[].attributes.body
Historically, there have been barriers of entry for women to enter more labor-intensive fields. This has resulted in an over representation of women in more professional work environments. In the case of Emma Degraffenreid who was discriminated against when she tried to work at a manufacturing plant.

# data[].attributes.body
I think women and men are pressured into different careers from the time they are young. There are certain careers that women are pressured into that men are not necessarily. These different careers have different associated salaries.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we see self section due to women being discouraged from certain fields from when they were young so they subconsciously may not be interested. Also a super male dominated field like construction may scare off potential female employees.

# data[].attributes.body
Women may not feel the support from others to enter certain fields that would supply the same high pay and opportunities that men receive.

# data[].attributes.body
There are many stigmas around where people can work and how successful they can be. This will change how people select where they want to work. For example, women may fear joining into a specific workforce because of gender norms.

# data[].attributes.body
Self selection does play a role, but social norms and family expectations may have an impact as well. Personality differences can have an impact when it comes to asking for a raise.

# data[].attributes.body
Professions that are historical primarily female are lower paid, thus creating a gender gap.

# data[].attributes.body
Career choice

# data[].attributes.body
Self-selection may play a role in the pay gap. Other preferences also may factor into this. For instance, women who choose to stay at home and care for their children or focus on volunteer work may result in a wage gap. However, it is becoming more common for men to do this, as well. This may help close the wage gap as time goes on. Changing norms may also cause women to opt into currently predominantly male occupations.

# data[].attributes.body
From a young age men are told to go into those type of jobs that are hands on and women not so much. So women choose to head in a different direction with their occupations

# data[].attributes.body
Self-selection may play a small role in the pay gap if men tend to choose higher paying industries, but the difference is more due to gender norms and stereotypes - Ryan Deppe

# data[].attributes.body
Self selection plays a role in the pay gap by having certain role attract more women than men, etc...

# data[].attributes.body
Self selection leads to men and women seeking out jobs in sectors that social trends and encouragement from society lead them towards.

# data[].attributes.body
People are afraid that women are going to leave the company when they are pregnant . And company want to compensate that in advance?

# data[].attributes.body
Societal norms sometimes influence Men and Women into different careers. These careers may pay differently as an industry and affect the pay gap.

# data[].attributes.body
Self-selection definitely has an impact on the pay gap. For instance, the maintenance occupations industry is mostly employed with men. This inequality will result in women to be paid less on average, as the industry is already compromised of men who are skilled in the industry. With a precedent of that industry being occupied by men who are already skilled in that industry, women who are not trained in maintenance occupations will be seen differently at the entry level and as a result, be paid less.

# data[].attributes.body
There are expectations from society about which sectors females vs males should be working. It can be seen that the harder jobs physically can be mainly done by men thus making it harder for women to adjust to those types of jobs.

# data[].attributes.body
Boys and girls are able to see the social norms associated with their gender as they grow, which leads women and men to go into certain fields and then discourage jobs that break that norm.

# data[].attributes.body
There is history of unequal pay for women and they may be hesitant to speak up about this topic to their coworkers or their employers. Also there are specific gender professions that put the pay gap into use.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, self selection plays a role because women may engage in specific career paths that fits more of their interests that pay less whereas men may follow their interests that are could be higher paying. Both men and women at young ages are also being told and shaped into certain career paths which is where their interest may be stimulated from at a young age.

# data[].attributes.body
People are taught that certain jobs are for men and some are for women. Some jobs are seen as stereotypically for men, so women would feel uncomfortable going into male dominated fields. Another reason for the pay gap might be because employers don’t want to “invest” in their female employees because they believe they’ll leave if they get married/pregnant.

# data[].attributes.body
Women wants to go into careers that is previously dominated by men

# data[].attributes.headline
Some fields are considered only for a certain gender

Some fields are considered only for a certain gender

# data[].attributes.body
It all has to do with the "stereotypes" that people have on women and men in their jobs. For example, men are encouraged to be engineers while women are encouraged to be teachers. There are certain fields that are considered just for women and others just for men. This is a type of discrimination.

# data[].attributes.body
Many male-dominated industries are not accommodating to female employees. This both includes lack accommodations for maternal leave, lack of mentorship, and even hostility, at times.

# data[].attributes.body
Women may not be as inclined to seek high-paying positions or promotions within corporations. Women who are perceived as dominant in this aspect can be seen as a threat by men, subjecting them to punishment.
