This
paper explains the
disparity in
remuneration among the sexes and indicates that women, who are
engaged full-time work, receive roughly 80% of men's hourly remuneration. The author stresses that it has been made legally
mandatory in the U.S. to apply
uniform remuneration for uniform employment to speed up the progression of bringing in parity. The paper points out that a significant factor in the pay disparity is the fact that women are more often engaged in
part-time work, which pays less proportionally than the full-time equivalent.
