Gender disparity in the pharmaceutical sciences contributes to the overall gender pay gap. The gender pay inequity is worse at later career stages. Salary data for pharmaceutical scientists has been reviewed from both the American Association of Pharmaceutical Sciences (AAPS) Salary Survey and the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) Pharmacy Faculty Demographics and Salaries report. We share some potential causes of the pay inequity, including implicit bias, pipeline issues, family responsibilities, and others. We suggest how organizations can put processes in place to help narrow the gender pay gap. Additionally, we share suggestions for how women must take a proactive role to ensure they reach their full potential and pay equity.
制药科学领域的性别差异加剧了整体性别薪酬差距。在职业生涯后期，性别薪酬不平等现象更为严重。我们查阅了美国药学协会（AAPS）薪资调查以及美国药学院协会（AACP）药学教师人口统计与薪资报告中的制药科学家薪资数据。我们分享了薪酬不平等的一些潜在原因，包括隐性偏见、人才输送问题、家庭责任等。我们提出了组织可以如何建立相关流程以帮助缩小性别薪酬差距的建议。此外，我们还分享了关于女性必须如何积极主动以确保充分发挥自身潜力并实现薪酬公平的建议。
