Detailed explanation-1: -The Equal Pay Act requires that men and women in the same workplace be given equal pay for equal work. The jobs need not be identical, but they must be substantially equal. Job content (not job titles) determines whether jobs are substantially equal.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Equal Pay movement seeks to end the disparities in earnings between women and men. It pushes for legislation that deals with issues of wage discrimination both for full-time, year-round workers and those earning minimum wage.
Detailed explanation-3: -Now, an anthropological study of gender division of labour across different societies has revealed that women work harder than men. The results of the study, published in the magazine Current Biology, show that males under duolocality and patrilocality work much less hard than females.
Detailed explanation-4: -Some of the reasons for the gender pay gap are structural and are related to differences in employment, level of education and work experience. If we remove this part, what remains is known as the adjusted gender pay gap.
