Which of the following reflects the "comparable worth" argument?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "comparable worth" argument asserts that jobs of equal value or requiring similar skill, experience and education should be paid equally regardless of gender. This argument aims to address the fact that traditionally male-dominated jobs tend to be higher paying than traditionally female-dominated jobs with similar requirements, leading to gender-based pay disparities. Therefore, option C reflects the comparable worth argument. Options A and B address discrimination based on gender and race/ethnicity respectively, but do not specifically address the issue of pay discrepancies between jobs of similar value. Option D suggests that market forces should determine wages, which may not necessarily address the issue of gender-based pay disparities.
