International Equal Pay Day 2022 - Can pay transparency measures help reduce the gender pay gap?

22 Sep 2022

The Equal Pay International Coalition (EPIC) used the occasion of International Equal Pay Day 2022 to highlight some of the pay transparency measures being implemented in different parts of the world, including various tools and responses to key questions. Leaders from different countries, as well as representatives of employers’ and workers’ organizations took part in discussing the pros and cons of some of the pay transparency measures currently in place, its potential and actual effectiveness on reducing the gender pay gap, and consequently, broader gender inequalities in the labour market.

A video of the event and the animated video on pay transparency are available on EPIC YouTube channel.
