Aren't women typically shorter than men? Might this explain the gender pay gap?
Yes, and I suspect that a portion of the height gap might also be explaining a portion of the gender gap. But I avoided that sensitive topic because I'm only speculating, and I didn't want to make it seem like there isn't a gender bias. Height would only explain a portion; there ARE factors specifically related to gender too.
