Breakout session four: Gender pay equity – what are we waiting for?
Thursday 11 April (1330 - 1430)
La Scala room
Description
According to the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2023, it will take 131 years to close the gender pay gap. How useful are initiatives such as the new EU Pay Transparency Directive and laws on quotas? Is it time for stronger action to call out gender pay inequality? Are social movements like #MeTooPay more effective than laws in bringing about cultural and systemic change? This session will debate these big questions while reviewing what’s happening around the world in regards to gender pay equity.
