Gender Pay Gap Analysis: Earnings and Student Debt Among Recent College Graduates

The AAUW analyzed earnings and student loan debt of a nationally representative sample of college graduates in 2009, just a year post-graduation. The research reveals a persistent gender pay gap, with women earning less than men, even when accounting for similar education, work experience, and job types. Factors such as differing majors and societal stereotypes further compound this issue. Notably, women carry a heavier student loan debt burden. Recommendations include enhanced pay transparency, support for policy changes, and actions to promote paycheck fairness.
