How Iceland is Fighting the Gender Pay Gap

from People Fixing the World · host BBC World Service

Although Iceland is thought to be the best country in the world for gender equality, it lags behind in one metric: the gender pay gap. So a decade ago the country's unions and business community came together to try something new. They devised a management standard to help organisations implement equal pay. Now the government has gone a step further and introduced a law that from January will force companies to adopt the standard or face fines. So is this small island nation set to be the first in the world to equalise pay?Presenter: India Rakusen Reporter: William KremerImage: Illustration of two Icelandic people / Credit: BBC
