Abstract	This is the executive summary for the report, "Women Can't Win: Despite Making Educational Gains and Pursuing High-Wage Majors, Women Still Earn Less than Men." Gender wage disparities have always been an intractable problem in the workforce. Women are doing all the right things to close wage disparities--going to college in greater numbers than men, pursuing majors that offer higher incomes, and graduating college in greater numbers than men. A complex set of reasons has kept this gender wage disparity in place: (1) choice of field of study; (2) choice of majors within fields of study; (3) choice of occupation; and (4) discrimination. [For the full report, see ED594545.] (ERIC).
