Equal pay @work

Abstract

Fundamental components of achieving gender equality include ensuring fair compensation for women's and men's work and ending wage discrimination. However, wage inequalities, in some circumstances, persist and may even have worsened. Wage inequality is a problem that goes unnoticed, yet it persists over time, making its eradication difficult and the principle of equal pay for work of equal value unclear. This principle is decisive for promoting equality and effectively curbing wage discrimination, particularly as women and men generally occupy different working positions.
