（24-25高一下·江苏连云港·期中）Great efforts have been made to close the gender (性别) pay gap. But not all fields of work are created equal.
Alexandra Light, who has been doing ballet since she was two years old, says even the dance world is dominated (主宰) by men at the top. “A lot of people on the outside of the dance world still don’t realize,” she said, “in the industry, it’s still very much a boys’ game.”
Tracey Rockett, who teaches management practice at Texas Christian University, says she can point to any number of studies that show the wide gulf (鸿沟) between women and management. That gulf persists even in fields dominated by women.
“In public schools, for example, men are in the minority, but to keep them, very often, they will be offered promotion opportunities much earlier than women are,” Rockett said. “You see that in the restaurant industry, in education, in healthcare, and in dance.”
According to the Dance Data Project, among the largest 150 ballet companies in America, only a quarter of works produced last year were choreographed (编舞) by women.
Light is a lead dancer. She knows the difficulties in reaching the position where she is now. “You know, there’s a choreographic workshop, and you don’t sign up for that because you’re like,’Well, I need to, I need to dance,’” Light said.
During the pandemic, women quit the workforce in larger numbers. They reported larger rates of burnout while taking on the extra burden of childcare. At companies where women often take the lead on efforts of diversity and equity, they typically don’t get additional pay.
But Rockett sees hope in Light’s generation, Gen Z (used to describe Americans born during the late 1990s and early 2000s). “That is one thing we are seeing in particular with Gen Z. They will leave without a backup job. If they’re dissatisfied, they’re going to take off,” Rockett said.
