Which Part of a Woman is 23% less than a Man?

[okaawhatever]

28. I read something, I believe it was last year, that said women had less unemployment than men and

they quoted some info that said many of the employers during the recession were hiring women to pay them less. I can't find it now on Google but I remember something about Silicon Valley in the article. While I was looking I stumbled across this article I found interesting:

Are Women Really Less Corrupt Than Men?

A World Bank study from 2001, for instance, found that “one standard deviation increase in (female participation in government) will result in a decline in corruption... of 20 percent of a standard deviation".

But the new study by political scientists Justin Esarey and Gina Chirillo of Rice University argues that this effect is highly dependent on institutional context. In a political culture “where corruption is stigmatized, women will be less tolerant of corruption and less likely to engage in it compared to men,” they write. “But if corrupt behaviors are an ordinary part of governance supported by political institutions, there will be no corruption gender gap.”

SNIP

“in more democratic countries… men are considerably more tolerant of corruption than women.”

They also found that in 157 countries over a nine year time span, “female participation in government was unrelated to corruption in autocracies, but negatively related to corruption in democracies.”
