Gender pay gap is a reality among Women employees; they are especially predominant among Women MBAs with the income gaps ranging between $10000 and $11,000. Although measures are being taken to represent more Women in an MBA class, the number of GMAT test takers would give us hints on whether the supply meets the demand.
According to the latest GMAT Volume data by Gender, the number of Women GMAT test takers has increased consistently with an average annual growth rate of 4.3% reaching 122843 during 2011-12. A positive trend seen in the report is that from 2008-09 to 2011-12, the gap between the number of women and men GMAT test takers have fallen by 15000.
Another interesting trend seen in the report is the shortening of gap in Mean GMAT Score between men and women from 41 points in 2002-03 to 21 during 2011-12.
