Even female Uber drivers get paid less - Male Uber drivers make 7 percent more per hour than women.
From recode
Male Uber drivers get paid 7 percent more than their female counterparts in the U.S., according to a new study (pdf) by Uber and Stanford economists.Read more: https://www.recode.net/2018/2/6/16979370/female-uber-drivers-get-paid-lessThat’s surprising, because Uber’s driver assignments and pay are gender-blind, meaning a driver’s gender isn’t considered when matching riders or assigning fares. Rather, pay has to do with trip length, distance and whether it’s happening during surge-price hours or not.
There are more male drivers — women make up 27 percent of Uber drivers in the U.S. — and male drivers tend to work longer hours. However, on an hourly rate, women still make less, according to the data, which measured trips by 1.8 million drivers from 2015 to 2017.
The reasons why this gender neutral free market app also has an income disparity can be directly applied to the broader economy and famed gender wage gap. It's time we start to really take a critical look at this mythical figure and apply some scrutiny.

7% difference is not such a clear statistical conclusion. Maybe man tend more for longer drives?

I know it;'s a terrible joke, but it's interesting that insurance companies tend to favor female drivers with lower premiums, particularly with younger drivers.
it is very unfortunate with the decline of it, thanks for sharing
