If a company had to not only give leave for birth/infant care but also give COL and merit pay increases while they were out the gap would be closed...but less qualified women would then be making the same as more qualified men.

That isn't what would happen. It would increase unemployment for women with professional degrees, as they would be a bigger cost a commitment for a company to bring on. A company would naturally tend to hire men more easily than women if these costs were imposed.
