The Gender Pay Gap for Female Doctors Is Deepest for Those Who Are Also Mothers – WBUR

Read article - Lucy Skinner, MED ’21, ’23, is featured in an article about her research that finds female doctors get paid significantly less over the course of their careers if they’re married and have children compared to male doctors who have children. “Having access to day cares at hospital systems, as well as having equal maternity and paternity leave, would normalize both men and women taking time off to take care of children,” Skinner said.
