That women earn less and work more convenient times has no explanational value at all. Equally you could say that women work more convenient times because they earn less.<br /><br />What you would need to make sense of this data would be an additional analysis of working schedule and pay that would prove that inconvenient schedules pay more.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04691152763366165618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7539577136486286096.post-79021259389533387482010-08-05T22:53:41.946-05:002010-08-05T22:53:41.946-05:00Big, big, big gap in your reasoning here.

On the other hand, many jobs that force you to work the graveyard shift are low-paying, dead-end jobs in retail or manufacturing.<br /><br />I'd actually expect the value of the average hour worked between 8AM-6PM to be GREATER than the value of the average hour worked from 8PM to 6AM - which would mean that women are doing *even worse*!Tom Ritchfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009479916609344352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7539577136486286096.post-59695713595955943572010-05-26T12:32:58.919-05:002010-05-26T12:32:58.919-05:00Casey,

Women still have more homecare, childcare and parental care duties than men do. Services that women do or use more, such as babysitting/daycare, grocery stores, meal making, drug stores, laundries, etc. are more available for a 9-5 (8-6) schedule than one that ends at midnight.<br /><br />Women also feel safer during daylight, as there are more drivers on the road, more people out, more public transportation, more gas stations open, more police, etc.<br /><br />If government and society provided more safety and more family/home related services for women at night, more women might work at night.<br /><br />While I would consider this a worker choice, I can see the argument where a woman could argue it is institutionalized discrimination, which prevents working at night.<br /><br />I wonder if somewhere like Las Vegas, where services are on more of a 24-hour schedule than most cities, if the ratio increases for women working at night and approaches the rate for men.Milton Rechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02488660316957122768noreply@blogger.com
