Abstract

The article notes research has shown a wage gap concerning men's and women's compensation and also notes the authors' study on newly hired chief financial officers (CFOs) in the U.S. The study found the female CFOs' pay at two years into the job was about five percent less than the male CFOs. The assumptions that women want family-friendly working conditions and are less likely to leave the firm are mentioned. A strategy for preventing these stereotypes from impacting compensation is noted.
