Worldwide Pay Gap

• The pay gap varies with the position of men and women

• It is larger for higher-earners than for low-earners

• The smaller gap for low-earners in many countries reflects the influence of minimun wages and collective agreements to protect lower-income workers

What are mean reasons for the Pay Gap?

• "women's work" is undervalued• women more often work part time due to the

family work• women interrupt their careers more

frequently• gender role stereotypes still exists• women don’t negotiate as well as men • discrimination against women

Abstract of the Gender Pay Gap around the world

• The pay gap is estimated globally to be 22,9%, • Gender pay gap decreased in most of the OECD

countries (OECD average in 2010: 17,6%, 2011 17,3%)

• A positive trend can be notice in most of the countries

• But unfortunately it would take us further 75 years to close the gap (Source ILO Conference 2011)

We can‘t wait 75 years ! We started BPW Awareness Campaign EPD – NYC, 2009, 53rd CSW

Work for the introduction of more EPDs worldwide and for networking for worldwide activities

We want to achieve a rapid decraese of the pay gap – fight for subject matter

• Raise awareness and mobilize • Demands: transparent salaries systems in companies• Have an equal number of women on board• Inform women so they can act with more confidence• Improve conditions for working mothers• Promote discrimination-free job evaluation• Increase the number of women in full-time jobs

What we have achieved – Establised a worldwide movement

We started with 2 countries, meanwhile we celebrate EPD in over 30 countries BPW deal all over the world, on each continent with this topic, even there isn‘t until now an EPD• BPW gave the gender pay gape more relevance• A lot of governments and parlamentariens put this

problem on a higher position of their agenda • We reach also support from men, companies,

organisations, assosiations and trade unions

How to start and how to reach a large number of people

1. Start with an EPD and repeat every year 2. Organize events and go public3. Wear RED! – Red bags are the BPW- Equal Pay Day symbol4. Take as BPW a leading role, determine the date /EPD, 5. locate and find federats (unions, politician, companies), Equal Pay is an important topic, which interests the popultion, (there exists a competition about topics finds attention, other oganisations must legitimate there existence), 6.BPW don‘t fight against each other, work together!
