The study by Stanford University economics professor Victor Fuchs said women s income doubled Over the Quarter Century but their average hourly pay was still 50 percent less than men s. Fuchs reporting in the weekly journal science said women also lost ground in other areas they had less Leisure while men had More because of the increase in the divorce rate women were More dependent on their own income and women s share of financial responsibility for children Rose. The data examined Here suggest that the massive structural Legal and behavioural changes of the last Quarter Century did not improve the economic Well being of women in comparison with men wrote Fuchs who is also a research associate at the National Bureau of economic research a private non profit organization in Stanford. As Long As parents Are responsible for children and this responsibility is borne disproportionately by women sex differences in the labor Market Are Likely to persist he wrote. The study based on census data and population surveys said women comprised 54 percent of the labor Force in 1982, compared with 34 percent in 1959. Women s wages showed a striking increase from $4,139 in 1959 to $9,026 in 1983, because of an increase in hours worked and in actual pay. Both figures were Given in 1983 dollars. The ratio of their earnings compared to men s also doubled. However the study found the average Man still earns almost 50 percent More per hour than does the average woman of the same race age and  although Federal and state Laws require employers to have the same pay scale for men and women in the same Job the Large wage differential persists partly because women have fewer years of service than men in particular jobs and especially because they have different  this Fuchs wrote could be blamed on motherhood which induced some women to leave the Market at an age when men were making important career moves. Other women who stayed in the Market accepted lower wages in Exchange for flexible or Shorter hours limited travel or other compensation. The study also found that if income was equally shared women have almost As much As men but their position on this scale actually declined 2 percentage Points because fewer Are married and benefiting from higher income of husband. The study also found that housework hours fell for women and Rose for men but women s total hours of work Market and non Market Rose by about 5 percent.
