Equal value, equal pay: Concepts, mechanisms and implementation towards gender pay equity

This research is carried out in the context of the ongoing transposition of the gender pay transparency directive. The first part updates previous Eurofound research by looking into the experiences of Member States with implementing pay transparency measures and their effectiveness. It also reviews if and how Member States have defined the principle of ‘work of equal value’ in their national legislation or case law. The second part – based on case studies – investigates how the work of equal value principle is implemented in practice, within collective agreements, at company level, and within tools used for setting equal pay.
