The second part of the thesis deals with the statistical data pertaining to unequal pay and analyzes societal causes of persisting unequality such as segregation of the labour market or employee discrimination. The final part of this thesis addresses the development of feminist legal theory, its leading thoughts and ideological disputes and its strategies for...
