The Broad Experience

Episode 123: Fair Pay, part 1: It Begins with Babysitting


Listen Later

This show kicks off a two-part exploration of the pay gap and women's ongoing efforts to get equal pay for equal work. First, we talk to researcher and author Yasemin Besen-Cassino. She found out the pay gap begins a lot earlier than you might think - at age 14. (Male babysitters get paid more than female ones!) Then we meet Lydia Frank from Payscale to talk about the importance of pay transparency and why even women with MBA degrees often fail to get a raise.
