For example, studies have shown that women tend to take more vacations than men. Older women also are payed less, most likely because it is assumed that they will put in less effort and they have a shorter life span. These forces can definitely contribute to the wage gap problem, but there are still obvious flaws in this system. Not all women take an excessive amount of vacations, and older generations being payed less is another form of discrimination, yet women are payed less regardless of all these things. Not to mention, many businesses state that their workers recieve equal pay, when women actually recieve less than men. For example, at Easyjet, women pay rates are 52% lower than men, with Virgin Money and Ladbrokes close behind with a solid 33% and 15% wage gap. Although women are payed much less in these firms, each one says that its workers are payed equally. This yet again proves the unfair and illegitimate wage gap
