Closing the persistent gender pay gap: evidence-based solutions

This seminar aims to inform, support, and mobilise the social partners at European, sectoral, and national levels to further evolve their roles in addressing the gender pay gap. Specifically, the seminar will seek to:

• Present cutting edge and recent research on the drivers of the gender pay gap and on the efficacy of action by social partners and by companies in seeking to reduce the gender pay gap.
• Enable dialogue among the social partners and between social partners and academics on diagnosing, influencing and taking action on the gender pay gap at sectoral, cross-sectoral, and company levels.
• Build agreement around causal factors for the gender pay gap, effective solutions in relation to the these factors, and further actions that the social partners could take on this issue.
