The gender pay gap has been attributed to differences in personal and workplace characteristics between women and men (education, hours worked, occupation, etc.) as well as direct and indirect discrimination in the labor market (gender stereotypes, customer and employer bias etc.).

Many studies also point to personal choice as one of the main reasons for the gender pay gap, as many women choose business-related degrees than those in the tech field.
