Abstract

This article discusses the gap between men's and women's pay with particular reference to the hotel and catering industry. The general causes of pay inequality are reviewed and their relevance to hotel and catering assessed. The general conclusion is that the dismantling of the Wages Councils, the fragmentation of pay structures and the contracting out of Catering services are all likely to cause a deterioration in Women's pay relative to men's. Furthermore, the gap between the average pay of men and women is likely lo compare even less , favourably in the ,future. The effect of this deterioration may be masked if increasing numbers of men are forced to compete with women for low paid jobs in service industries.
