From https://scholar.harvard.edu/bolotnyy/publications/why-do-women-earn-less-men-evidence-bus-and-train-operators-job-market-paper HT Marginal Revolution

The paper itself cannot be downloaded but clearly suggest they are detailed evidence on the work choices down to people nominating to rosters and taking up their roster nomination as a bus or train driver. This paper is therefore the only rival the Uber paper that found a zero gender pay gap once work-life balance choices were accounted for by women.

Why does @women_nz @JulieAnneGenter treat men’s occupational choices as superior? Women choose more interactive occupations because of their vastly superior reading and verbal skills

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
