Question
Why are women paid fewer wages for the same work as compared to men?
✓

Answer

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