“…Although a number of universities have made strides toward closing the gap in their respective institutions (e.g., at the University of Manitoba; see Shirle, 2019), more work is needed to not only eliminate such disparities but to address the consequences of such differences over time. Although ample literature documents the substantial gender wage gaps in Canadian universities (e.g., Canadian Association of University Teachers [CAUT], 2018;Doucet et al, 2012;Gatto et al, 2018;Momani et al, 2019), as has research in institutions elsewhere (e.g., Currie & Hill, 2013), few have researched the extent to which such gaps impact professors' pension benefits over the life 75 course. The purpose of this study is to not only examine the long-term effects of the gender pay gap, but also differences in pension earnings by gender, using a case study of a Canadian post-secondary institution.…”

What is the impact of the gender pay gap in academia over the course of a career and retirement? To quantify this impact, we used a Canadian post-secondary institution as a case study and simulated the effects of the reported difference in salary across multiple academic career trajectories. A starting wage gap of less than $9,000 resulted in a $300,000–$400,000 gender wage gap over the course of a career, and a further $148,000–$259,000 gender pension gap, for a total gender pension and wage gap of $454,000–$660,000, depending on the rank achieved. Thus, focusing on gender gaps in salary alone leads to a substantial underestimation of the long-term effects of the gender gap.

“…However, findings largely suggest that research productivity explains little of the persistent gender wage gap (Ornstein & Stewart, 1996;Momani et al, 2019). For example, combining individual scholars' salary data from the Ontario Sunshine List for the University Sector with their productivity characteristics for research and teaching, Gatto et al (2018) find that while research productivity measures (e.g., h-index) and teaching performance (e.g., Rate My Professors) show a modest effect on wage formation, they show no effect on the wage gaps. Frederickson (2018) unequivocally condemns the suggestion that men might be stronger researchers and she also finds that the gender wage gap is also not driven by the scarcity of women in highly paid fields such as natural science or engineering fields.…”

The gender citation gap: Why and how it matters

The weight of evidence suggests that articles written by men and women receive citations at comparable rates. This suggests that research quality or gender‐based bias in research evaluation and citing behaviors may not be the reason why academic women accumulate fewer citations than men at the career level. In this article, I outline a career perspective that highlights women's disadvantages in career progression as the root causes for the gender citation gap. I also consider how the gender citation gap may perpetuate the unequal pay between genders in science. My analysis of two different datasets, one including paper and citation information for over 130,000 highly cited scholars during the 1996–2020 period and another including citation and salary information for nearly 2,000 Canadian scholars over the 2014–2019 period, shows several important findings. First, papers written by women on average receive more citations than those written by men. Second, the gender citation gap grows larger with time as men and women progress in their careers, but the opposite pattern holds when research productivity and collaborative networks are considered. Third, higher citations lead to higher pay, and gender differences in citations explain a significant share of the gender wage gap. Findings demonstrate the critical need for more attention toward gender differences in career progression when investigating the causes and solutions for gender disparities in science.
