Preferred term

wage inequities  

Definition

  • Wage inequities are nonmeritocratic disparities in pay between individuals or members of different groups (e.g., gender, race, belief system, sexual orientation, immigrant status, or nationality). Wage inequities can lead to feelings of discrimination, low worker morale, deterioration of management-worker relations, crime, and social unrest.
