The problem with today's society is that many believe that everything should be equal. Although, that may be a noble ideal, the reality is that not everything is equal. If more women are drawn to social work and more men are drawn to science and technology, that's the way things are. It's not broken or wrong. There doesn't need to be a 50/50 representation in everything. I'm not saying women shouldn't pursue science/technology nor should encouraging them to do so be prevented, but it shouldn't be treated like an epidemic. Further, if more women pursue social work and teaching (two professions with historically low pay) and men tend to pursue professions with higher pay (business and science/technology) there is going to be a gap in wages. Perhaps, less likely in Israel than in other parts of the West, women are less likely to approach their bosses for a raise than men, resulting in less pay. Also, the survey doesn't take into account differences in experience or take into account part-time vs full-time employment. Both of those can affect pay dramatically. So is there a pay gap in Israel, perhaps. However, the extent of it is unknown since the data needs to be broken down further to see the reality of the situation rather than loosely comparing average wages in order to promote a certain cause.

male with the same job was getting from the same store, I was told by the store manager that the male had a family to support. At least the inequality is less now than it was then.

The Money that they earn by themselves which supposedly comparing to the men's income is %40 but do not forget that many other of their expenses that are being paid " here and there " by their men is more than %90 Income !. Is it not right?
