We know there is still work to do to close the wage gap between women and men.

A study of 42,000 managers in the UK found that at the age of 37, the average female manager was five years younger than her male equivalent.

As Tamar Lewin writes in this New York Times article on the research, the report notes that "perhaps the most compelling evidence against the existence of a boys' crisis is that men continue to outearn women in the workplace."
