A First in the World: Icelandic Inequality 'Stop', Men Giving More Salary to Women Prohibited
Iceland completely removed gender inequality in business life. In the country, it is forbidden for men to pay more salaries than women, starting from the new year.
Women organized protests and demanded that they paid less than men: Equality
The law, which introduced a wage equalization with the female parliamentary members becoming active, became effective as of January 1st.
Workplaces that do not comply with the law in the public and private sectors and do not receive the necessary certifications will be punished.
Switzerland and the United States have similar applications in Minnesota, but Iceland is making a first in terms of wage inequality by imposing enforcement.
According to the report of the World Economic Forum, the country ranks first in gender equality in the last 9 years.
"Equality rights are human rights, we have to treat men and women equally in the workplace, and we must do everything we can to achieve this goal," Icelandic Equality and Social Affairs Minister Thorsteinn Viglundsson said in March 2017, the first time to remove the wage inequality altogether.
