pay disparity
Unequal compensation rates
Pay disparity is the difference in compensation between groups—typically comparing what men and women, or white workers and workers of other races, earn for similar work.
The term implies unfairness: The pay disparity between executives and hourly workers has widened dramatically.
Gender pay disparity and racial pay disparity are the most commonly discussed forms.
