It wasn't a "survey," it was a data analysis by the bureau of labor statistics. You're probably going to have to elaborate before you dismiss the fucking Pew Research Center as a non credible source.

There were two parts. Part A) was that women get paid less, and the author did determine that by looking at the Bureau of Labor study. But again, no one disputes the fact that women get paid less, so this wasn't the relevant part.
Then there was part B), that woman took more time off, and that
was based on a survey:

In spite of its narrowing, the gender pay gap persists. Why is this? In our survey, women were more likely to say they had taken career interruptions to care for their family.

As I keep explaining though, a
survey that shows women take more time of does
not show that that's the reason they get paid less. You would need some sort of
study that controls for other factors and then actually shows that whatever factor (in this case time off) is responsible for whatever percentage of the income gap.
Meanwhile I provided a study that showed exactly that, and found that 73% of the pay gap was caused by factors
other than occupation/parenthood/time off/etc., or in other words that it was caused by discrimination. The only thing anyone has had to say about it is that it's a few years old, as if that completely invalidates it.
