Nordic-German trade union project on equal pay for equal work

The project started in 2023 aimed to give an overview on the existing gender pay inequalities and on the current strategies to reach pay equity in the five Nordic countries and Germany. By gathering actors at the Nordic level and with an international perspective from Germany the project aimed to gather relevant knowledge and competence and create a solid overview with a focus on what different actors involved in the labour market could do to achieve equal pay for equal work 

The project was planned as an interview study and case study with examples and resulted in a report. Based on identified good practice examples from the participating countries, the report also included recommendations on possible measures on how to support the work in achieving equal pay for equal work.  

The report was launched in autumn 2024 at a conference and spread to relevant Nordic, German and European target groups. The project seeked to inspire and presenting possible ways by showing how other countries are working on achieving equal pay for equal work.
