where [g.sub.ij] (i = 1,2, ..., n and j = 1,2, ..., m) is the jth aspiration level of the ith goal, [w.sub.i] represents the weight attached to the deviation, and [d.sub.i] is the deviation from the target value [g.sub.i]; [d.sup.+.sub.i] = max(0, [f.sub.i](x) - [g.sub.i]) and [d.sup.-.sub.i] = max(0, [g.sub.i] -[ .sub.f]i(x)) denote under- and overachievements of the ith goal, respectively.
She attributes the closing of the wage gap to women's overachievements in education and skills development, and their success in a different pattern of work and family to the decline in male dominated sectors of the economy.
