Women, Work, and Wages: Equal Pay for Jobs of Equal Value

摘要

At the request of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Committee on Occupational Classification and Analysis undertook a study of the issues involved in measuring the comparability of jobs. The committee was charged with assessing formal systems of job evaluation and other methods currently used in the private and public sectors to establish the comparability of jobs and their levels of compensation. The EEOC is concerned with the validity of the principles used to establish compensation--in particular, with whether methods of job analysis and classification currently used are biased by traditional stereotypes or other factors.
