Document Summary

Barely half of 30-year-olds earn more than their parents: Why even women at the very top can"t get equal pay: The reason this happens is because women tend to be younger and have looser networks than their male counterparts when they come into executive positions. Women experience less of the upside when their companies do well and are more exposed to declines in their company"s value when things go poorly than male executives. Women, of all ages with no children, on average do 10 hours of housework a week before marriage and 17 hours of housework a week after marriage. Men of all ages with no children, on the other hand, do eight hours before marriage and seven hours afterwards. Married women with more than three kids recorded an average of about 28 hours of housework a week, while married men with more than three kids logged only about.
