Following the publication of another gender pay gap article, I wondered: What kinds of gender gaps do people think are important to talk about? Googling stuff is a crude measure of just this. The results:
- “gender wage gap” 448,000
- “gender pay gap” 462,000
- “gender income gap”, 14,000
- “gender wealth gap” 4,340
vs.
- “gender lifespan gap” 20
- “gender mortality gap” 452
- “gender life expectancy gap” 948
- “gender height gap” 258
- “gender jail gap” 5
- “gender crime gap” 204
- “gender strength gap” 8
- “gender violence gap” 8
- “gender assault gap” 0
- “gender murder gap” 1
- “gender work hours gap” 4
- “gender risk gap” 5
I couldn’t think of any more gender gaps, but the pattern seems pretty clear…
