Which of the following is the most reasonable inference as to why age is a variable in many gender-wage studies? Younger women are less likely to be discriminated against by employers than older women are, with other factors being equal. Older women are likely to have entered the workforce at a time when women were traditionally paid significantly less than men. Younger women have less knowledge about market conditions and thus are likely to accept lower wages than men for the same work. Older women have more confidence and thus are more likely to aggressively negotiate for the same pay men in the profession receive.
