Abstract
States that the narrowing pay gap between genders reached a plateau in the 1990s. Describes the scope of the disparity before discussing possible explanations such as working hours, preferences, experience and tenure. Suggests how an organisation can identify and avoid pay disparity. Cites some case law examples. Concludes with recommendations for resolution including strengthening the Equal Pay Act and creating family‐friendly policies.
