Tóm tắt

Tôi tiếp tục bình luận về các vấn đề được nêu ra trong bài báo ban đầu của tôi trong số này (Lips 2012, số này) và phản hồi các bài bình luận của Huffman (2012, số này), Olson (2012), Stockdale và Nadler (2012) và Tharenou (2012). Dù có một khối lượng lớn và ngày càng gia tăng các bằng chứng cho khoảng cách lương giới tính, vẫn còn tồn tại sự thiếu nhận thức về khoảng cách này. Thiếu nhận thức này có thể có nguồn gốc từ các niềm tin biện minh cho hệ thống. Những niềm tin này có thể được củng cố bởi một tiếp cận vốn con người, điều này có thể có vẻ như lý giải cho khoảng cách lương giới tính bằng cách quy nó chủ yếu cho những lựa chọn mà cá nhân thực hiện, trong khi hạ thấp vai trò của sự phân biệt. Mặc dù, như các bình luận viên về bài báo gốc của tôi đã chỉ ra, một số nhà nghiên cứu sử dụng mô hình này có thể nhận thức được những hạn chế của nó, và một số có thể đã vượt qua nó do những hạn chế đó, nhưng những hạn chế này có thể không quá rõ ràng với người tiêu thụ nghiên cứu. Do đó, cần thiết phải có một phê bình cẩn thận và liên tục về mô hình vốn con người, và chú ý đến tác động của các khuôn mẫu văn hóa về giới đến các biến mà nó bao gồm. Tuy nhiên, như một số bình luận viên cũng đã lưu ý, còn nhiều cách phân tích hữu ích khác về khoảng cách lương giới tính, chẳng hạn như tập trung vào các biến thể chế liên quan đến nó hoặc xem xét nó từ góc độ bất lợi tích lũy. Những điều này cũng cần được theo đuổi mạnh mẽ nhằm hiểu rõ và xóa bỏ khoảng cách này.
