The removal of legal barriers alone may not be sufficient to eliminate the pay gap between men and women, because the increased competition may not be able to overcome

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Even if legal barriers are removed, some employers may still have preferences to discriminate against women when it comes to pay. This is not something that increased competition can necessarily fix, as discrimination is a complex issue that goes beyond market forces. Therefore, option B is the best choice. Option D is also partially correct, but it focuses only on one aspect of the problem (employer preferences to discriminate) and doesn't take into account that increased competition may not be enough to close the wide gap in pay.
