[full-text, 11 pages]
[Prepared for a presentation to the European Parliament Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality].
Summary:
Although collective agreements and minimum wage laws are in principle gender-neutral, women still end up earning less than men. This paper briefly explores some different facets of the gender pay gap issue, based on data collected from two of the Foundations projects: the European Industrial Relations Observatory (EIRO) report Pay developments 1 2005, and the fourth European Working Conditions Survey, due to be published early in 2007.
Includes numerous CHARTS....
