The two reports "How to Reach Gender Pay Equity and How to Close the Gender Pay Gap: Good Practices and Policy Recommendations from Nordic-German Trade Unions" was officially launched at a conference in Reykjavik on 31 October, in connection with the Nordic Council meeting. These reports, together with the published country reports on the state of equal pay in the Nordic countries and Germany, is a step towards promoting equal pay.
Initiated by the Council of Nordic Trade Unions (NFS), the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung and the German Trade Union Confederation (DGB), the project brings together the expertise from trade union confederations from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Germany. By highlighting good examples from the Nordic Countries and Germany, it aims to illustrate practical ways of closing the gender pay gap, drawing on evidence from the five Nordic countries and Germany, exploring the barriers to equal pay and sharing real-life examples of progress.
We hope that these reports will inspire further action to tackle pay inequality and promote a gender equal labour market. From a trade union perspective, the report examines how the gender pay gap could be eliminated. Although the participating countries - Denmark, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Norway and Sweden - are often recognised as leaders in gender equality, none of them has completely closed the gender pay gap.
The analysis focuses on four key factors influencing pay inequality: pay discrimination, occupational segregation (both horizontal and vertical) and the disproportionate share of (unpaid) family care work undertaken by women. We hope that the inspiring examples gathered in the report will encourage further efforts to tackle the gender pay gap and promote gender equality in the labour market.
