Although laws and policies are necessary for ending discriminatory pay practices, a new study argues that they alone are insufficient. Human behavior and everyday choices perpetuate pay discrimination and inequity when employers adhere to workplace norms that privilege one type of employee over another. Yet strategies aimed at correcting individual behavior, such as diversity training, have proven largely ineffective. This study advocates for a new approach that shifts the focus toward the contexts that constrain such behavior.
