Explanation:
Or simply "se valora menos que..."

Don't really see the problem (could be surfeit of Christmas pudding speaking here), but maybe you want to avoid something so literal?

disagree  Andy Watkinson: Un trabajo "less highly valued" puede ser bien valorado, sólo que menos que otro. "Menospreciar" no equivale a "infravalorar".//I think you mean "lingüística".

está menos valorado


Explanation:
Education, training and culture continue to transmit gender stereotypes. Women and men often follow traditional education and training paths, which often place women in occupations that are ***less valued*** and remunerated.
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=COM:20...

La educación, la formación y la cultura siguen transmitiendo estereotipos sexistas. A menudo, las mujeres y los hombres siguen las sendas tradicionales en educación y formación, que acostumbran a colocar a las mujeres en profesiones ***menos valoradas*** y remuneradas.

..., and so it is valued less highly than the paid work...
..., por lo tanto está menos valorado que el trabajo remunerado...
