The gender gap in earnings has decreased substantially since 1980. From 1980 to 1994, the ratio increased from 0.6 to 0.74, although the ratio has stagnated since 1994. Thus, in the fourteen years from 1980 to 1994, 35 percent of the preexisting gender gap in pay was eliminated. Moreover, these annual earnings data overstate the size of the gender gap because women who work full time actually work about 10 percent fewer hours than do men.

Otherwise, a function is said to be a discontinuous function. A continuous function with a continuous inverse function is called a homeomorphism. Continuity of functions is one of the core concepts of topology, which is treated in full generality below.iven a sequence. of functions such that the limit. exists for all x in I, the resulting function f (x) is referred to as the pointwise limit of the sequence of functions (f n) nâN. The pointwise limit function need not be continuous, even if all functions f n are continuous, as the animation at the right shows.
