The answer is: wage discrimination.

Wage discrimination is an unjust practice in which a worker´s corporeal, ideological, ethnic, or otherwise personal background —which has no effect on his or her productivity and is not related to expertise, preparation, or experience— is considered by an employer when setting his or her wage lower than that of his or her colleagues who perform exactly the same tasks.
