This act was supposed to help create an environment where there is no discrimination in pay and employment, however, it failed. After the Equal Pay Act was passed, people still experienced problems with discrimination in pay gaps and employment.

It's a piece of legislation that aims to eliminate wage discrimination based on sex. It is designed to help close the gender wage gap in the U.S. It was passed by the House by 217-210 votes. The advantage of this act would be creating a level and fair field for men and women, closing the gender gap in equal pay, and helping women invest in retirement accounts. The disadvantage would be that it wouldn't address the wage disparities and more lawsuits in the workplace could occur.

It was intended to require men and women to be equally paid for working with same skill and effort under similar working conditions. However, this act failed to solve the problem of gender pay gap as some employers found loopholes to pay less for women by giving different job titles for an equal work.
