"In the UK, they pay women 26 percent less than their male counterparts,"
Wow, I'm surprised the UK doesn't have laws preventing gender based pay discrimination.
It boils down to choice of career, work/life balance, experience level, and assertiveness.
Discrimination is still a factor, but yeah, society corrals women into certain fields that don’t pay as much.
Is even better! When a field changes from male dominated to female dominated, incomes across the field plummet!
