Jobs for the boys

A piece by Sarah Vine in Fridays Times2 quotes an unidentified survey which says that boys earn more than girls even from their parents. For carrying out domestic chores

Assuming the survey results are generalisable they provide further evidence for the thought that pay differentials depend on something deeper than straightforward discrimination
