The U.S. lags behind other countries in closing the gender wage gap, ranked 43rd in gender equality, as noted by Yana Rodgers, Rutgers University Economist and Professor of Labor Studies and Human Relations. When asked about how the U.S. can help right this ship, Rodgers speaks to addressing the motherhood penalty, where women are clustering into more flexible but lower-paying jobs. She also advocates for investing more into the care infrastructure, such as better daycare systems and paid parental leave.
