Briefly explain why "equal pay" and "minimum wage" legislation has not ended the subordinate status of women in the labor market, both in terms of compensation and of duties or responsibilities
Equal pay for equal work and minimum wage laws do nothing to improve the monetary compensation for jobs, which are generally performed by women (e.g., clerical work and simple filing and bookkeeping tasks). There is no general movement toward adoption of comparable worth legislation, at least in part because it is difficult to quantify and replace the market forces of supply and demand as well as the traditions that have tended to determine existing wage scales. This is true even though the wage scales do not necessarily reflect an equitable social and economic valuation of different jobs. Most improvements in the average compensation levels of women have resulted
from successful efforts of some women to prepare for (through education and training) and to perform work, traditionally done by men, which commands higher compensation.
