	The gender '''pay gap''', also known as the '''wage gap''' so often spoken about and even cited in the media is not a result of a systematic bias against women. Research has clearly shown that the choices that men and women make, in the types of employment they undertake the amount of overtime they are prepared to work, and whether they are prepared to work in remote, dirty and dangerous conditions explain the vast bulk of the wage gap. A major study commissioned by the US department of Labor, the [[CONSAD Report]] shows that in the United States the wage gap is reduced to 4.8-7.1% after taking in to account known factors.<ref>http://www.shrm.org/hr-today/public-policy/hr-public-policy-issues/Documents/Gender%20Wage%20Gap%20Final%20Report.pdf</ref>		The gender '''pay gap''', also known as the '''wage gap''' so often spoken about and even cited in the media is not a result of a systematic bias against women.
