The History of Pay Equity – An Infographic

The history of pay equity dates back to the industrial revolution. During these times salaries were formalized and documented which made it easier to track pay differences between men and women.

The last decade shined a bright light on social justice, with pay equity being the focal point for being a measurable injustice.

In the coming years, forward-thinking employers will adopt a pay equity philosophy to keep up with public sentiment. Otherwise, they will struggle to attract and retain talent, as has happened with other revolutionary changes in the employee relations.
