In 1963, the United States passed the Equal Pay Act, which aimed to eliminate gender-based wage discrimination. The act required employers to provide equal pay for equal work, regardless of the employee's sex. This marked a significant milestone in the ongoing pursuit of gender equality in the workplace.
In 1972, the United States enacted an amendment to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, prohibiting wage discrimination based on gender. This amendment further strengthened the legal framework for equal pay and increased protection against wage disparities between men and women.
In 1981, the United Kingdom introduced the Sex Discrimination Act, which included provisions for equal pay. This act made it unlawful to pay women less than men for the same job. It aimed to address the gender pay gap and ensure fair compensation for individuals, regardless of their gender.
In 2009, the United States enacted the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, named after a woman who experienced wage discrimination. This act expanded the statute of limitations for filing pay discrimination claims, allowing individuals more time to challenge unequal pay practices. The act acknowledged the need for robust legal protections to combat persistent wage disparities.
In 2018, several countries, including the United Kingdom, introduced mandatory gender pay gap reporting. This required certain employers to publish and disclose data relating to the pay gap between male and female employees. The aim was to increase transparency and promote awareness of pay disparities, pushing organizations to take proactive steps towards achieving equal pay.
