The right to just and favourable conditions of work (Art. 7) 2016, para. 15
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Remuneration set through collective agreements should be aimed at ensuring equality for work of equal value. States parties should adopt legislation and other measures to promote equal remuneration for work of equal value, including in the private sphere, for example, by encouraging the establishment of a classification of jobs without regard to sex; fixing time bound targets for achieving equality, and reporting requirements designed to assess whether targets have been met; and requiring progressive decreases in the differentials between rates of remuneration for men and women for work of equal value. States parties should consider the introduction of a wide range of vocational and other training measures for women, including in non-traditional fields of study and work.
