PM will take part in stoppage by women and non-binary people calling for pay equality and action on gender-based violence

Organisers hope the women’s strike – whose confirmed participants include fishing industry workers, teachers, nurses and the PM, Katrín Jakobsdóttir – will bring society to a standstill to draw attention to the country’s ongoing gender pay gap and widespread gender-based and sexual violence.

    And this is also true for the adjusted pay gap, taking into account education, seniority, etc.

    There is no study showing an adjusted wage gap disparity. Some studies normalise for profession, but it’s incredibly broad. Not all healthcare workers are paid the same. Nurses are paid less than doctors, for example. I am aware of no studies which normalise for job title, experience, education, and other relevant factors. I would appreciate if you could provide one.
