Do Gender Pay-Gap Disclosures Make a Difference?

Press/Media

Description

The verdict is still out on the impact of legislation regarding firm disclosure rules on the gender pay gap (GPG). First, results from recently published research are mixed.  Second, estimates of the impact of legislation aimed at closing the GPG have produced a wide range: no impact in Austria, 2% reduction in Denmark, and a reduction of 20% to 40% in Canadian universities.  Is there a better approach?
