I don't know about "developed."
I think there are still many discrepancies and legal loopholes. Unions can help but in private companies it is a different matter, for example. Owners pay and promote how they see fit, and every woman who is mistreated isn't going to go to court; who can afford the legal expenses! And if a woman is trying to get her foot in the door in a certain industry, for instance, she is likely to suffer the lower wages for the bigger picture hopes. Even though that can backfire.
