Pay discrimination in the retail industry

Abstract

Looks at the evolution of the workforce within the retailing industry and considers the victims of pay discrimination which now exist. Discusses various theories for the pay discrimination among women and minorities. Suggests some remedies that may minimize these inequalities. Concludes that the application of affirmative actions and diversity programmes should continue to serve as fundamental sources of workforce diversity and that new legislation/regulation may be required to protect those disadvantaged.
