This equal pay survey was first carried out in 2010 to identify the scale of the gender pay gap across the public services. It also asked affiliates to provide details of the kinds of initiatives they had taken to close the gap.
A summary report of the survey is available here: www.epsu.org/article/epsu-publishes-full-gender-pay-gap-survey-still-long-way-go-gender-equality
All the responses to the survey are also available to read here. They have been collated according to the subject areas listed below and can be found by clicking on the links below or on the right.
The survey first asked two questions about data and then asked about action by EPSU affiliates in nine key areas.
Data
Areas of action to help close the pay gap
Have you had negotiations with the employer to address any of the factors that contribute to the gender pay gap, for example:
• Concentration of women in low-paid jobs
• Higher pay increases for the lowest paid and/or occupations that are female-dominated
• Training and promotion opportunities for women
• Impact of maternity and parental leave on women’s pay and prospects
• Availability of childcare or help with costs of caring for children or dependant adults
