Let's look at how effective the efforts to eliminate gender equality have been in the context of pay equity. You've already calculated the gender gap for 2004; now calculate it for 2016. (Using 2016
data, divide the National Median for women by the national median for men.) Compare the gender
gap in 2004 with the gender gap in 2016. What happened to the gender gap in the intervening
years? Between 2004 and 2016, the earnings for women in comparison to men has
a) increased slightly
b) remained fairly constant
c) decreased slightly
d) decreased dramatically
