Because of the lack of equality in income for women involved in sports over the years, an important act of law entitled Equal Pay Act of 1963. This Federal Law attempts to further can discrimination and bring forth equality. The law discusses how the pay among individuals performing the same job should be equal. Certain descriptions are set forth such as equal effort and equal responsibility. Equal effort is measured by the physical or mental exertion needed to perform the job.
Equal responsibility is examined in terms of the whole position.
In jobs that are otherwise equal, a minor degree of difference in responsibility is not a just reason for differential pay. Women, on the other hand, prioritize good and stable business models, and team-oriented environments. The survey also showed men as greater risk takers in employment. More men than women preferred entrepreneurial jobs, and more women desired health insurance. Athletic competition is an unpredictable way for either sex to earn a living.
