Assessing the Effectiveness of Pay Equity Laws for Women in Technology

Current statutes, while well-intentioned, have not eradicated the pay gap for women in technology.

Moreover, the burden of proving discrimination is often unreasonably high for employees. For laws to be truly effective, they must be augmented with stricter enforcement and more transparent salary reporting requirements.
