Abstract:
Obviously goes back to the 19th Century when women were entering
manufacturing industry and commerce in increasing numbers. Given
particular stimulus during 1914-1918 war as very large numbers of women
moved into industry and commerce in the U.K. and other European
countries. Economic factors certainly indicate more pressure on equal pay in times
of full-employment rather than during depression.
Certainly, one main-spring has been the protection of men's earnings
but also cultural and political considerations involved.
