Gender pay gap refers to the distinction between male and female employees on the basis of
their wages. The remuneration which the women are paid for the number of hours they work
at an organisation might be different from that of the men working in the same sector or
organisation. Such differences in the society often leads to demotivational aspects associated
with the workforce. The women till date are being exploited and they are getting less pay
than the men (Leslie, Manchester and Dahm, 2017). The pay gap may be adjusted or
unadjusted but it persists in most of the sectors. In this research proposal the gender pay gap
