This analysis aims to estimate the factors contributing to income differences between men and career women.
Analyzed wage or salary income from a national sample of men and women aged 30-44 in 1966.
Conducted regression analysis to assess the impact of age, career experience, education, and employment status on income.
Calculated average earnings and coefficients of determination (R2) for comparison between genders.
Average earnings for women were 39% of men's earnings.
If women had equaled men in occupational status, career duration, education, and full-time employment, their income would rise to 62% of men's.
R2 value was .49 for women, indicating higher income dependency on factors compared to R2 value of .29 for men.
