This idea was supported by Stojanka Dakić whose stated that gender wage gap is usually a result of breaking the principle of equal pay for work of equal value because the same work operated by different genders should have the same level of responsibility, expertise, experience and readiness in the intellectual and physical sense [3]
Summary
Considered as a second class society, the role of women in economic development is often in doubtfully as they are considered as inferior, unworthy and unable to work. The impact of gender discrimination perspectives is human resource accumulation for women labor was about to idle. The inability of women to fulfill the basic needs laid to degraded quality of human resources. This indirectly resulted in the wage earned by woman is lower than that of man, well known as gender wage gap. The low wages received by the female workforce causes the competence of female workers to be seen as lower than men. If this continues, the role of women in economic development becomes meaningless. The conclusion is that the gender wage gap has attributed to the lack of economic development
