Income disparity is an inequality in pay or salary for equal labor.

Income disparity is commonly used to describe the income differences between males and females for the same job or labor. The term can be used in any situation when wages are arbitrarily different between two or more groups.

The term is also used by those people concerned with the low level of the minimum wage, relative to the income of the wealthy. In this context, it is not equal money for equal work as it is for feminists, but the sense that money should be a just reward, earned when deserved at the rate that is deserved. For example, many jobs the poor take on involve much harder labor than jobs the rich take, and some rich people never work. If that were the case, that would be income disparity, a man works all day and makes less money than a man that does not work. The minimum wage is the minimum rate a worker can legally be paid (usually per hour) as opposed to wages that are determined by the forces of supply and demand in a free market. ... Feminism is a social theory and political movement primarily informed and motivated by the experience of women. ...

This can be disagreed with under the consideration of the economic backgroung of earnings. It can be said that income equals the level of production or output of the worker. Income disparity is the situation where the output level of two workers is equal but their incomes are not as a result of unassociated bias. In the situation with high earnings for seemingly low levels of work, the income created as a result of the actions of the high earner may be very high. This would explain the reason the rich person who seemingly never works earns more than the low level earner who works hard. Earnings are related to output not neccesarily how hard someone works.
