| Abstract: | Gender differences are often considered to be a product of a malfunctioning labor market that discourages women from nontraditional professions and an educational system that doesn't give women the necessary skills for certain jobs. The article claims that, actually, many sex differences in occupational distribution are at least to some extent a result of an imbalance in supply. Differences in both temperament and cognitive ability guide men and women toward different jobs, which is a product of our evolutionary history. |
