The fact that this has to be pointed out to Finland in 2014 is right out shameful: Take appropriate measures to eliminate the persistent gender pay gap by addressing the significant vertical and horizontal gender-based segregation in the labour market, which results in women occupying lower paid jobs and facing obstacles in the enjoyment of career opportunities on an equal footing with men. The Committee recommends the State party to redouble its efforts in the implementation of the principle of equal pay for work of equal value, including through the further development of the Equal Pay Programme and to undertake comparative studies among the different categories of work in relation to equal pay and equal value in order to develop a comprehensive strategy.
