There are several instance where employers have undervalued work performed by women. Some policy makers have proposed a remedy for this called equal pay for comparable worth. Comparable-worth policies are controversial. From an economic standpoint, the obvious drawback of such a policy is that raising pay for some jobs places the employer at an economic disadvantage relative to employers that pay the market rate.
