Is the gender commuting gap the fault of sexist employers? @women_nz

The best research on the gender pay gap these days relies upon fortuitous datasets. In this case, the French public employment form asks about maximum commuting time and minimum acceptable pay in your next job.

Study finds that ~10% of the gender earnings gap is due to a "gender commute gap," i.e., the greater willingness of women (men) to trade-off a lower (higher) salary for a shorter (longer) commute time. https://t.co/ERcbyuJW7i @CHSommers @JaniceFiamengo @IWF @BenShapiro

Note that a lot of sex differences follow a similar trajectory: They start growing in adolescence then shrink in later life. This applies, for instance, to fireworks-related hospitalizations, alcohol consumption, road deaths, and homicide rates. https://t.co/4TUyAx0IL3 pic.twitter.com/f4d4teD1rj
