Overview: There are a variety of tools by which the state can intervene in the workplace to promote equality both in terms of pay and more generally. The most obvious of these consists of direct legislative intervention in the form of a prohibition on discrimination and/or - in more advanced equality regimes - the imposition of positive obligations on employers to promote or achieve equality. This type of legislative intervention is particularly weak given its individual approach and enforcement mechanisms, together with the unavailability in the UK of class actions. Governments are traditionally less reluctant to undertake equity-related obligations themselves and, on occasion, to impose these obligations on local government and the broader public sector (education, for example, and health).
