I saw in the news that female Uber drivers make less than males?? What's up with that?

This article says:

• Men cause 6.1 million accidents per year and women cause 4.4 million per year (National Highway Safety Administration)
• 105.7 million women and 104.3 million men have drivers licenses (University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute)
• On average, men drive 16,550 miles and women drive 10,142 miles per year ( Federal Highway Administration)

Men do account for more accidents than women, but they also drive significantly more.  

So, to measure accordingly, we can divide # of accidents by total miles driven.  Men are responsible for 348 accidents per 100 million miles and Females are responsible for 416 accidents per 100 million miles. 

So... sorry.  Women do cause more accidents.

Like we really need more women drivers on the road. 

well we all know uber pays females less and treats them like crap. why not make it the case for drivers too!

it's not that they make less per hour than males. that's called discrimination

THIS MAKES ME SO MAD. people always say women are such bad drivers but that is not true at all!!! sorry i care about my passenger's life and don't run through yellow lights!

i saw this article on the topic. This is what it says the reason women make less. 

1. Different experience levels using the Uber platform
2. Preferences over where and when they wanted to work
3. The propensity (and willingness) for male drivers to drive faster, thus completing more trips
