Law mandates equal remuneration for females and males for work of equal value (1=yes; 0=no)

This indicator assesses the existence of legal frameworks requiring employers to ensure equal pay for men and women performing work of equivalent value, which encompasses both identical roles and various positions recognized as being of similar worth. It emphasizes the comprehensive definition of "remuneration," covering not only base wages but also additional benefits and allowances, whether delivered in cash or kind. This legislation is crucial in promoting gender equality in the workplace, as it aims to eliminate wage disparities linked to gender discrimination. The indicator reflects a country's commitment to uphold fairness in employment practices and foster an inclusive environment where all workers are compensated equitably, thereby contributing to broader economic stability and social justice.
