Later career

Center of the Wharton School from 1960 to 1971;{{r|rec71}} she was a "founding member" of the center, and remained associated with it for the rest of her career.{{r|paa-obit}}

Equal pay study

In 1981 Miller chaired a committee of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, appointed by president Jimmy Carter, that found that women are "systematically underpaid", both by being concentrated in lower-paid positions and by being paid less than men for comparable positions. The committee suggested that a notion of "comparable worth", used to adjudicate legal cases for gender discrimination, could improve the situation, but would not remove disparities caused by discrimination in hiring.{{r|eeoc-nyt|eeoc-wapo}} Miller knew much of this already from personal experience; her obituary for the Population Association of America (of which she was first vice president in 1980) writes "Most of her career was spent at a time when it was very difficult for women to receive their due as full participants in science and the academy."{{r|paa-obit}}
