save 20 cent per dollar compared to one that only hires men. Since a female worker saves the company 20 cents per dollar‚ she is performing equally to a man – to a lower cost. Since marginal benefit versus marginal cost for women is 20 cents higher than the ratio of men‚ there should be a clear incentive for hiring women. There has been a major discussion over the passed years about the questions around whether women and minorities are being wage-discriminated on the basis of their sex/ethnicity.
