The right to just and favourable conditions of work (Art. 7) 2016, para. 12
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The extent to which equality is being achieved requires an ongoing objective evaluation of whether the work is of equal value and whether the remuneration received is equal. It should cover a broad selection of functions. Since the focus should be on the "value" of the work, evaluation factors should include skills, responsibilities and effort required by the worker, as well as working conditions. It could be based on a comparison of rates of remuneration across organizations, enterprises and professions.
