Rajaram's had been something of an immigrant-American success story. Born in India, he grew up in Bangalore and graduated in 1985 from the now famous Indian Institute of Technology in Chennai (formerly Madras). He went to Los Angeles to earn an M.B.A. from UCLA before working at Sony Pictures from 1989 to 1994, according to a company spokesman. He went on to serve in a small consulting group within PricewaterhouseCoopers dedicated to strategy and operational consulting for motion-picture companies. He left in 1999 to join EHS Partners, a start-up consulting firm. A 2001 story...
...Maybe so; Brown cuts a convincing figure abroad. But he finds it harder back home to win over doubters to a plan that could cost British taxpayers dearly, though he promises they may eventually earn dividends from the investments backed with their own money. Yet the crisis has had a bracing effect. A recent mutiny against his leadership in Labour ranks evaporated after a bold Cabinet reshuffle, and rebels shrank back from a coup attempt at such a tense time.

...experience discrimination, especially if they are short and if they don't look convincingly male. Also, it's harder for MTFs to pass than FTMs: men who become women still have large hands and bigger frames. The less-convincing appearance of MTFs probably explains part of the reason they earn so much less after they transition. Still, the new paper suggests an entirely new vein of research in the field. It also suggests that if you're thinking about changing sexes, you should carefully consider the economic consequences...
...oldest debates in contemporary social science is why women earn less than men. Conservatives tend to argue that because women anticipate taking time off to raise children, they have fewer incentives to work hard in school, and they choose careers where on-the-job training and long hours are less important. Liberals tend to focus on sex discrimination as the explanation. Obviously some mixture of those factors is at work, but academics have long been frustrated when they try to estimate which force is greater: women's choices or men's discrimination...
