The following questionnaire was distributed in June 2022 to gender, labour, and/or social ministries in every OECD country as a follow-up to the report Pay Transparency Tools to Close the Gender Wage Gap (OECD 2021). The following instructions were shared with OECD Member Country Delegates, along with a list of definitions of terms:
The aim of this questionnaire is two‑fold. First, we wish to validate the information specifically on pay reporting rules across countries (pre‑filled based on country answers received in the previous questionnaire). Secondly, we want to gather new, more specific, information on these rules. This information will be used to establish a gender pay transparency reform database with the purpose of enabling cross-country analysis on the effectiveness of pay reporting rules aimed at closing the gender wage gap.
This questionnaire requests information on the regular reporting by companies on pay levels by gender and more exhaustive pay audit systems aimed at promoting equal pay in your country. If your country does have measures in place in the aforementioned categories, we ask that you validate, i.e. confirm, the information provided in this questionnaire and that you fill in any questions left blank.
The questionnaire is divided into the following sections:
A. Rights to equal pay
B. Information about pay reporting measure(s)
C. Required content in reported pay gap statistics
D. Accountability to workers, workers’ representatives and government bodies
E. Enforcement of pay reporting rules
F. Transparency to the public
G. Guidance and help
H. Other reported gender gaps
I. Evaluations of non-pay reporting rules targeting the gender gap
