Fig. 7. Unexplained and explained portions of the difference between WAHM and non-WAHM STEM professionals on each work experience measure, produced by Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition.

Shaded segments represent the portion of the difference between WAHM and non-WAHM STEM professionals explained by variation in human capital, background characteristics, job characteristics, work effort and attitudes, and family responsibilities (shaded segments), and the unshaded segments and accompanying percentages represent the portion that remains unexplained by variation in these factors. N = 25,324. See table S2 for full decomposition models.
