This is actually the ratio of the difference between median combined earnings against median men earnings.

Code Review

This pull request correctly updates the statType for the gender_wage_gap variable from dcid:meanValue to dcid:Ratio in custom_dc/sample/variables.mcf. This change accurately reflects that the variable represents a ratio, as described. Additionally, a newline has been added to the end of the file, which is a good practice. The changes are correct and improve the data definition.

the domain for statType is property -- medianValue is the closest that we currently have (the full list is here -- look for the list of domainIncludes), or we can add something new for this.

Yes, you're right. But it is odd that there is no ratio, percentage, difference etc. Even in go/dcguidebook we have a recommendation for percentages but no way to specifying this in the statType. Should we add these?
