Progress on reducing the gender pay gap has stalled in the U.S., according to Payscale’s Gender Pay Gap report.In 2025, women earn 83 cents for every dollar men make, and that gap widens as women age.To address pay inequality, the Paycheck Fairness Act has been introduced to strengthen the Equal Pay Act of 1963.The gender pay gap is the result of structural inequality and differences in opportunities for men and women based on gender norms.
