True equality for the millions of women and minorities
in the workforce will not be achieved until there
is pay equity.
Achievement of pay equity will benefit millions of
households, particularly the growing number headed
by women.
The drive for implementation of pay equity must be
seen as reversal of a historical pattern of devaluing
work done by women and minorities.
While it is crucial that all occupations be open to
women and minorities, efforts must continue to find
solutions to the problems of workers in female-and-minority-dominated
occupations.
Pay equity is an intrinsic part of the goal of Title
VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and of the Equal
Rights Amendment.
