HOUSTON, Texas, Dec. 9 (TNSRes) -- Rice University issued the following news release:
The wage gap between men and women is no secret, but another form of gender discrimination directly and disproportionately affects women worldwide: the "pink tax" imposed by import tariffs that target female products.
But new Rice University research concludes the "pink tax" is generally lower in countries where more women are elected to political office.
