Abstract

INTRODUCTION In 1999, the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) set up an Equal Pay Task Force with a remit to try to ascertain why, after nearly 30 years of legislation, gender pay inequality was still a key feature of the labour market in Britain. The Task Force reported in 2001 and narrowed the causes of the gender pay gap down to three main factors: • Pay discrimination. • The effect of caring on earnings. • Occupational segregation.
