How can we end pay inequality?

Rethink how we approach pay inequality to reduce it more effectively.

Diversity, equity & inclusion · Gender equality

The principle of equal pay for work of equal value has been recognised for over a century. For more than 50 years, we have used the same method to analyse pay gaps. This method can, for example, turn an overall gap of 24% into an unexplained gap of 4% in France. But reducing a number, even with a sophisticated calculation, does not itself transform reality or achieve social justice. Women remain statistically less well paid than men, an unsatisfactory situation for women and society. To change this, we must ask new questions and provide relevant answers to renew equality and gender-balance policies.

Part 1 · Numbers and reality

How pay inequality is calculated
Pay inequality as both cause and consequence across gender inequality and violence against women

Part 2 · Dare to ask the right questions, even uncomfortable ones

Career paths and the value of experience gained outside work
The value of different occupations
The gender of performance, and of “glue work”

Part 3 · Equality for a better life

Aim for real equality to reduce the cost of inequality
Cultivate a preference for equality
Bring pay discussions back into collective dialogue
