Gender Pay Gap Clauses in Collective Agreements and Trade Unions

Abstract

Social partners’ further sensibilisation, creation of usable tools and measures to identify, monitor and fight GPG, promotion of training and creation of training materials at company level is a must to reach results in decreasing GPG.
During the preparatory phase several good practices from EU countries and clauses to collective agreements were recollected. Following the discussions with employees’ and employers’ representatives in the three countries – Hungary, Spain and the Netherlands – the following clauses could be identified to wider use naturally always taking into consideration that in the different countries the different labour laws regulate the working and employment conditions.
At the end of the day we could identify lessons on the base of the discussions, this report shows these.
