Strengthening the principle of equal pay between men and women through pay transparency
Propuesta de DIRECTIVA DEL PARLAMENTO EUROPEO Y DEL CONSEJO por la que se refuerza la aplicación del principio de igualdad de retribución entre hombres y mujeres por un mismo trabajo o un trabajo de igual valor a través de medidas de transparencia retributiva y de mecanismos para su efectivo cumplimiento
Initiative summary:
Gender pay discrimination is one of the reasons why women in the EU earn on average 16% less than men. Pay transparency improves access to information on pay, which allows awareness of discrimination and facilitates enforcement of the principle of equal pay. It also enables victims to bring claims. This proposal aims to introduce binding pay transparency measures, to make pay systems more transparent, improve understanding of legal concepts and to strengthen enforcement mechanisms.
