Despite decades of progressive efforts, there’s still a great deal of inequality in workplaces across the country most especially against women. In recent years, the government, employees, and many businesses have worked to stamp out issues involving salary discrepancies between genders. They’ve also sought to ensure men and women receive equal treatment but it has been unachievable due to the challenging inequality against women.
