Wages Gendered....

How much would you pay for a person who needs to take care of kids and housework and can finish a task on time? and in most cases, this person would be a female.

How much would you pay for a person who does not need to take care of the house and get used to make decisions (in both family and work settings) and could spend more time to finish a task and get it done before its due? in most cases, this person would be a male.

It is very common to see men to be hired in a higher position and get paid more in today's society. Of course there are some expectations but the fact is, men get paid for more. 

But I think this situation is changing. When you see more women are going to college and professional schools then men do, I think women are going to get paid for more than men, or at least more and more women would work in a professional settings then men do. It is because when more and more ladies are studying at Law schools, it means less women are working on farms and these jobs will be taken by men.
