Explain how the wage gap between men and women differs when we take an intersectional perspective.
What will be an ideal response?
An intersectional perspective demonstrates that the gender gap in wages is also linked to ethnicity. Within every ethnic group, women earn less than men. Yet the size of the wage gap varies across ethnic groups: It is largest among White Americans, and smallest among African Americans. The highest paid group--Asian American men--earns nearly twice as much as the lowest paid group--Hispanic/Latina women. In sum, pay inequity exists in each group, but it is most severe among Hispanic Americans. Wages also vary at the intersection of age and gender, such that the wage gap is smallest among younger adults and largest among older adults.
