Only six countries in the world give women and men equal legal work rights
- milsorgen 8y agoI'm not sold on the "unequal" pay issue they cite, at least not in most Western Nations.
- luckylion 8y agoWeird. The data is flawed, at least for Germany. We do have "equal pay for equal work" ("Entgeldgleichheitsgesetz", literally "equal pay law"; the data says no), we do have paid paternity leave (and it's compulsory for women, they are compensated with "Mutterschaftsgeld", literally "Motherhoodmoney", defined in the "Mutterschutzgesetz", "Mother protection law"; they say no), and we have an added voluntary paid paternity leave that both parents can take ("Elternzeitgesetz", literally "Parent time law"). It's the World Bank, I would've guessed they pay attention to detail, but I suppose that's naive.
- Ultramanoid 8y agoSpain just passed a law [1] requiring any business with more than 50 employees to disclose salaries, according to gender and position, to make sure equal pay is applied. Or to shame them into it, I guess.
