Women are paid fewer wages for the same work as compared to men because:
- There are rules but these are not followed especially in informal sector.
- There is a social prejudice which claims that males are more productive than females.
- Males are more committed to their work life. Females have dual responsibility which reduces their commitment to their wok life.
- Since females do not have complete financial responsibility, they agree to work for lower wages.
- Males have better physical abilities as compared to females.
