(2) Those factors which cause, or which tend to cause, such disparities, including segregation of women and men, and of minorities and non-minorities across and within occupations; payment of lower wages for occupations traditionally dominated by women and minorities; child-rearing responsibilities; and education and training.

(4) Actions, including proposed legislation, that are likely to lead to the elimination and prevention of such disparities.
