Seeking Progress: The Gender Pay Gap

The seminar aims to engage the expertise of the SAAGE country experts and relevant European Commission staff members to explore the analysis of, situations in, and responses to the gender pay gap and their policy implications for more effectively addressing this persistent and damaging inequality. It draws from a study carried out under the SAAGE initiative. Specifically, the seminar seeks to:

• Provide and discuss up-to-date information on the gender pay gap in the EU.
• Provide perspectives from Member State experiences on the gender pay gap, its scale, composition, and causal factors.
• Enable dialogue between European Commission staff members and SAAGE Country Experts on these issues and their implications.
• Offer an opportunity for bilateral meetings between Country Experts and Country Desk Officers.
