This is a good first step, but just forcing companies to publish their gender pay gap is another approach. The UK does this: https://gender-pay-gap.service.gov.

This is a good first step, but just forcing companies to publish their gender pay gap is another approach. The UK does this: https://gender-pay-gap.service.gov.uk/ https://gender-pay-gap.service.gov.uk/
Johnson & Johnson pay women 80% compared to men: https://gender-pay-gap.service.gov.uk/Employer/ZQsnGdUe/2020 https://gender-pay-gap.service.gov.uk/Employer/ZQsnGdUe/2020
Johnson & Johnson Medical pay women 89% compared to men: https://gender-pay-gap.service.gov.uk/Employer/QnG4UNkf/2020 https://gender-pay-gap.service.gov.uk/Employer/QnG4UNkf/2020
CBRE pay women 64%(!) compared to men: https://gender-pay-gap.service.gov.uk/Employer/CDD1g2Vb/2019 https://gender-pay-gap.service.gov.uk/Employer/CDD1g2Vb/2019
- arcturus17 5y agoFor Johnson & Johnson, there are more women in the top best-paying quartiles. It seems that what’s dragging pay down is the fact that there is a lot more women than men in the bottom quartiles. So I guess a solution to this problem could be to greatly increase the proportion of men in the bottom pay quartiles?

- arcturus17 5y agoThat's where I was getting at.
- hallway_monitor 5y agoSince apparently they employ way more women than men they should balance that first. Simply fire enough women in each income bracket to end up with an equal number of men and women. Sure a lot of people lose their jobs for no reason but hey it makes some numbers look better to some people!
