Gender Pay Gap

[Husar]

Adjusted number still shows a 7% gap here in the USA. That's a more realistic number than the oft cited 78% raw figure. It is still, however, not one-for-one.

I don't know what adjustments you've taken here, but while I agree with some some of the ones I heard about, others seem a bit phony.

For example their "choice to have a child instead" is a funny one since if all women chose to work instead, humanity would simply die out very soon...

And if they choose to have children and earn less, they're often in more financial hardship, especially when they retire and get less money as a reward for having earned less.
Yes, they do get to choose, but one of the choices is useful for the entire community (creating a future employee/customer/taxpayer) and rewarded with poverty and/or dependence on others. Is that really fair or a choice between equally rewarding options?

Could this choice be why birth rates in the developed world are going down in many countries?

Of course as someone who sees a lower world population as a good fix for many problems, I do not entirely object, but it's not the best argument for the pay gap IMO.
