Abstract
This study examines how economic (GDP) and cultural (tight/loose) factors influence gender income inequality, with data from the U.S., Japan, and Pakistan (N = 550). Results show that Pakistan had the highest acceptance of gender inequality, and hostile sexism mediated the effects of GDP and culture on inequality.
