Abstract

Gender discrimination is a widely analyzed problem, which seems to affect different countries and cultures over time. Nowadays, we are witnesses of the social inequality reflected by the salary difference between women and men for the same employment. Since the incorporation of women into the labor market in the 1980s, the wage gap between males and females has been a subject of study. One of the traditional arguments has been linked to the feminized occupations associated with sex stereotypes, as well as, low wage, birth, and discrimination in the labor categories. In the present work, we apply clustering algorithms to the PHOGUE dataset to analyze salary difference between males and females in Spain and England.
