We’ve discussed
pay equity and
maternal profiling on this blog. But this
June 11 posting by
Womenstake brings the two together, highlighting a
study that shows mothers were far less likely to be hired than non-mothers, and earned about $11,000 less than non-mothers. Fathers, meanwhile, were judged to be more committed than non-fathers -
a study in 2000 even showed that fathers received a “wage premium” in comparison to non-fathers.
The fathers in our lives should be honored, especially in this week leading up to Father’s Day. But let’s not confuse honoring one parent by discriminating against another.
