Abstract

“The gender wage gap and the overcrowding theory” is a study based on the obstacles of the female gender when they try to get a job, besides to promote and obtain senior positions. In order to understand the situation as well as the effect and context of the wage gap, we have analyzed different theories and documents. We have emphasized in concepts like overcrowding and wage gap as the most important criteria, last concept is the women’s discrimination cause by their gender condition. This analysis explains the rejection and discrimination in wages as the differences in remuneration without being impartial factors. What is more, that criteria cannot be demonstrated or justified. The rejection of compensation is not allowed by law, but is often not complied with. In conclusion, this document makes a contribution and a general view of the different ways of remuneration between genders at the labour market and their respective differences.
