> So I guess my question is how do they plan to measure the work part of "equal pay for equal work"? I do hope that the new laws don't directly require that, but that that would just be a positive consequence of having public salary statistics for each company. I.e. people would automatically start demanding equal pay if they roughly knew how much other people in that company earn. Especially for insecure or less agressive people (e.g. women, fresh graduates, foreigners, shy people,..) knowing exactly what a fair salary is, would give them more leverage / confidence during salary negotiations. And all that happens automatically, without the government needing to dictate any specific salary requirements.
