Begoña Suárez. February 22, Equal Pay Day

FM Podcast 1x19

Women earn less than men in all sectors of the economy, in all occupations, and even in the same categories and jobs. This resounding and worrying statement does not come from any institution, but from the EU itself. Its Statistical Office, Eurostat, ensures that women receive a salary 15% lower than that of men. In the euro zone, the downward wage difference is close to 16%.

For this reason, and to continue promoting measures to reduce the wage gap and raise awareness about equal pay, Fraternidad-Muprespa is aligned with the awareness-raising actions linked to February 22, Equal Pay Day. Today PodcastFm speaks with Begoña Suárez, Deputy Director General for Entrepreneurship, Equality in Business and Women's Collective Bargaining, an organization of the Ministry of Equality and with her we are going to chat about something that, honestly, we would like not to have to talk about.
