Abstract

Gender pay gap (GPG) is a complex issue that various forums, including the G20, have attempted to discuss. Mitigating GPG requires large-scale transformative changes, but constraints on financial resources and public spending, along with cultural norms and deep-seated societal beliefs, make it a difficult task. Proposed actions, therefore, must be economically prudent and actionable. This Policy Brief offers five recommendations for the G20 to help bridge the gender pay gap. These include: introducing pay transparency legislation; mandating data-driven gender budgeting; increasing emphasis on parental leave; promoting women in STEM subjects; and engaging with the industry by proposing initiatives such as exclusive women only portals, reporting on gender, facilitating leadership programmes, and ‘de-biasing’ organisations. These proposals can help policymakers move the needle on gender equity, promote social justice, and improve economic outcomes.
