高管职位上的女性数量少导致女性收入偏低

Pay gap caused by fewer women in higher-paying roles: Korn Ferry

The pay gap between men and women in the US is real, but predominately caused by fewer women than men in higher-paying roles, according to research released by executive search firm Korn Ferry International Inc. (NYSE: KFY). The Korn Ferry Gender Pay Index analyzed gender and pay for more than 1.3 million employees in 777 companies in the US, drawn from Korn Ferry's PayNet database.

The data found women earn nearly 20% less than men as a whole. However, that gap is significantly reduced when comparing women and men in the same jobs.

"This pay gap issue can be remedied if organizations address pay parity across the organization and continue to strive to increase the percentage of women in the best paying parts of the labor market, including the most senior roles and functions such as engineering and technical fields," said Korn Ferry Senior Client Partner Maryam Morse.

The index found that when comparing pay between genders overall in the US, men are paid 17.6% more than women, which is in line with research from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, the gap fell to 7% when evaluating the same job level, such as director. The gap tightened to 2.6% when considering the same level at the same company; when male and female employees at the same level and the same company worked in the same function, the average gap was less than 0.9%.

光辉国际近期发布的一项研究表明，在美国，男性和女性的薪酬是存在差异的，这其中最主要的原因是在高薪职位上的女性人数比男性更少一些。光辉国际在美国777家公司的130多万员工间做了广泛的调研，并根据性别薪酬指数做出了分析。

数据显示，女性的收入比男性低将近20%，但是，如果在同一份工作及岗位中去做比较的话，这一差距会大大的缩小。

光辉国际高级客户伙伴Maryam提到，如果在某些领域（如工程和技术）及职位的员工性别能平衡一些，并且使女性员工的比例上升，这样的收入差距问题是可以补救的。

通过该指数还可以看出，当只是在单纯的比较男女薪酬时，男性的薪酬比女性高出17.6%，这与美国劳工统计局的研究结果一致。然而，当在同一工作水平下对男女性的薪酬做出评估时，这一差距下降到了7%，当在公司的同一水平下比较，差距缩小到2.6%;当同一级别的男性和女性员工在同一职位工作时，平均差距小于0.9%。
