What type of discrimination does the Equal Pay Act specifically aim to eliminate?

Racial discrimination
Gender wage discrimination
Age discrimination
Disability discrimination

The correct answer is: Gender wage discrimination

The Equal Pay Act specifically aims to eliminate gender wage discrimination by ensuring that men and women receive equal pay for equal work within the same establishment. This legislation was enacted to address the pay disparity that historically favored male employees, thus promoting fairness and equality in the workplace. The Act emphasizes that job content, rather than job titles, should determine compensation, and it establishes a legal framework to challenge unequal pay practices based on gender. While other forms of discrimination, such as racial or age discrimination, are addressed by other laws and regulations, the Equal Pay Act is explicitly focused on the inequities faced by women in comparison to their male counterparts in terms of wages for similar roles.
