INSTRUCTIONS I completely forgot to write a propsal paper for my economics class. This is the guideline for the paper. I'm between two topics right now, and I'm ok with either topic being used! Topic 1- The gender wage gap (What is it? Is it closing? What policies can we apply to close it? What policies have been successful? Does it affect all women equally (by education, ethnicity, motherhood)? The career cost of children; is there a tradeoff between career and fertility? Is there a 'motherhood penalty'? The 'double bind.' What is it? What are its consequences for women in the corporate job market?) Topic 2- Minimum wage laws. (Do they attain their intended objective? What are their effects? Do they affect all workers equally? Why or why not?) Can select any one topic Page Limit 3-4 (including source ) APA Format
