Description

The gender pay gap isn't just numbers: it's a persistent issue causing long-term financial setback and hindering progress, especially for young professionals entering today's workforce. What's holding us back? Lack of transparency, uneven financial literacy, limited negotiation skills, and deep-rooted structural biases. With new EU regulations and growing demands for pay equality, companies face increasing pressure to shift from silence to action. • At the current pace, France's gender pay gap (22%) won't close until 2060. And across the EU, the average gap still sits at 13%. • Over her lifetime, a woman can lose up to €500,000 in earnings due to the gender pay gap, counting benefits and pensions. • Less than 60% of participants knew their organization's gender pay gap, showing how far we still are from full transparency. • Under the EU Pay Transparency Directive (applicable since May 2023), companies with 100+ employees have to share salary ranges upfront. Starting in 2026, they'll need to justify any pay gap over 5%. • Students mostly focus on salary (63%), often overlooking benefits and perks that can make up 20-40% of total compensation.
