exists across industries/professional levels.
is worse for those who face multiple barriers.
varies by region, field of study, occupation, time allotted to unpaid care + domestic work.

The gender pay gap refers to the difference in average earnings of people based on gender. Women make $0.84 for every $1 men make. The gap is worse for those who face multiple barriers, including racialized women+women with disabilities.
