Recently, there have been some conversations and some data about how the wage gap is shrinking. Now, the wage gap has gone up into the 80s, so 80% to the dollar. However, if you stratify wage gap, for lower earnings versus higher salaries. The wage gap for higher salaries is still pretty different, but there has been more pay equity for lower salaries, which I think is a silver lining.

If anyone deserves to get to pay equity faster, it's women who are working at lower income jobs and working just as much as men do definitely deserve that increase in salary. But it looks like in professional situations where the range in salaries is a lot more subjective and industry driven, there are still significant gaps.

Yeah, there's significant gaps not only in research funding, but there are also significant knowledge gaps when it comes to specific areas of women's health. So with regards to research, there are certain conditions that affect women predominantly.

For example, Alzheimer's and these sort of late-stage dementia diseases make up around 12% of the funding dedicated to research, although it disproportionately impacts women. About two-thirds of the patients are women. For example, in cardiovascular disease, funding is predominantly focused on trials that recruit a majority of male patients.

So the focus on women's health and women's cardiovascular disease is a huge disparity. There's actually some researchers looking at gender-based trials. differences in how we experience things like cardiovascular disease, which is one of the main mortality drivers for human beings at this time. So that is a really stark contrast.

And then there are other things like women's health, for example, where we know that recently the Biden administration has put a bigger lens on research funding towards those efforts. But historically, women's health has accounted for less than 10% of the NIH total budget, even though women make up around 50% of the population.

So it's a really stark gap and that feeds into a lot of downstream effects. One example that I'll give the members in our audience is we now have more women reaching the age of menopause and being active and working than ever before. yet we know very little about how menopause impacts women. And in fact, we know very little about how hormones impact women.
