Comparable worth
In response to the gender gap, some states and countries have experimented with comparable worth regulations.This tries to close the wage gap by requiring employers to pay people doing jobs of comparable worth the same income.Hence, if firemen get paid more than librarians, but regulators deem that the jobs are of comparable wealth, then wages of librarians would have to rise to match firemen.Advocates of comparable worth policies believe that compensating differentials do not explain differences in wages of men and women.One potential critique this principle of comparable worth is that:
