As a teacher, I was on equal pay with the men. I was also not discriminated against when it came to promotions and responsibilities. I think it's similar with most professions based on qualifications, experience, competence and length of service.
We have a minimum wage, which is the same for both men and women, and a lot of companies just pay that. Where men and women do the same job and don't get paid the same, the employers usually have a different job title for what the women are doing even though it's the same job as the men, e.g. male chefs get paid more than women cooks; male sales consultants get paid more than women sales assistants.
