Male CEOs With Daughters Treat Women Better

Description

When a male CEO has a daughter, he moves to close the gender pay gap at his company, a new study finds. Three economists drew on remarkably thorough data kept on employees in Denmark’s private sector, examining the salaries of 734,200 workers at 6,320 firms, from 1995 through 2006. The database also included information on CEOs, including the sexes and birth dates of their children.
