Of course not
And in roles where “productivity” can be precisely measured in financial terms (sales, Uber drivers, hourly-billing professional services like lawyers, business founders) women underperform compared to men, sometimes by large margins.
For example, female Uber drivers earn 7% less than male Uber drivers, but female-founded businesses have 50% less revenue than male-founded businesses.

No. Whenever you measure piece work productivity, whether that's commission sales or per unit productivity or billable hours, men average higher. This is precisely why concepts like 'hidden work' or 'emotional work' have come into play. In the tangible, measurable work, male productivity is higher.

This someone is a sexist. Why should men or women be more productive?
The studies range from -8% to +10%
The Hive study looks quite political motivated. I didn't managed to take a closer look.

The hive study is crap. It's 3000 people from their own customer database.
The other one is based on the entire country of Denmark. And written by an economist a U. Chicago. Here is the full working paper:

Answer: women are less productive.
EDIT Interestingly fathers are the most productive. Followed by women without children, men without children, and then mothers.

Depends on what they are producing. If it's outrage, or drama, then I would guess yes. But I don't have any statistics to back that up.

Productivity is an absolutely bizarre metric to toot your horn about.
[–]alclarkey 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Not really, the more you produce, the more valuable you are, the more you should get paid.
[–]jslnk 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
“Should” being the operative word.
But if your cost goes up, your overall productivity declines because each unit of production costs more than before.
[–]alclarkey 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Well the objective is to have your productivity increase be higher than your wage increase. That way you remain a good bargain.
[–]jslnk 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Exactly. Who wants to strut around peacocking because they’re a “bargain”?

Yeah they are, gossiping, taking selfies at work, talking, more talking, disturbing male workers.
That have to do with productivity.

“women are more productive than men”. Is there any evidence to back this up?
Absolutely not.
[–]xNOM 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Why are you asking us? Tell the idiot making the claim to show you the peer-reviewed research.
On the face of it, it seems retarded. Especially since women take up to 40% more sick leave than men.

Your post was removed due to rule 14, titles must be descriptive.
Titles must describe the content so that:
Users know what the link they are clicking on content before they click it
Users who are searching for specific material can easily find the post they are looking for
Take the time to describe your link, and save the time of hundreds of other people.
When making a title, it's best to assume the reader doesn't know what you're talking about - but don't go overboard with every detail. Then check if there are any words you can cut out without losing any important information.
It's a good idea to pause for a few moments before hitting the "Post" button. Check for typos, ambiguous phrasing, redundant words - and of course for unintended meanings!
