The Role of Enforcement in Pay Equity Policy Efficacy

The effectiveness of current pay equity policies largely depends on the rigor of their enforcement.

In jurisdictions with stringent enforcement and penalties for non-compliance, the gender wage gap has seen notable reductions. Without such enforcement, policies remain largely symbolic.
