In 2015 figures were released which showed that Italy’s gender pay gap is increasing, with women on average earning 7.3 percent less than men and rarely making it into managerial positions. The pay gap in Italy has increased by 2.4 percent in five years, up from 4.9 percent in 2008, EU statistics agency Eurostat said on Thursday.

No, unless pregnancy leave is unpaid and employers may stipulate that becoming pregnant constitutes breach-of-contract, women should be paid less because they are less reliable employees.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, and non-binary individuals should also be payed the same salary as well
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, women should have the opportunity to earn the same salary as men, if they work harder and do the same amount of working hours, under the same conditions in the same position, and are just as competent unless they can't perform the job as adequately.
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, pay should be based on results.
@4WC8QBC4yrs4Y
No, but it should provide incentives for pay equity and make it easier to sue for wage discrimination.
@92769393yrs3Y
Yes in theory, but there are too many other variables such as education, experience, and tenure that determine a fair salary.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Pay should be based on results
@8ZSR5NL3yrs3Y
Yes, they should earn the same amount of salary under the same conditions in the same position, unless they can't perform the job as adequately.

Yes, and non-binary individuals should be paid the same salary as well
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, except for the minimum wage, the government should not get involved in the salaries of private companies.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, and non-binary individuals should be paid the same as well
@92NQ4PZ3yrs3Y
Yes, but only the base salary should be required to be the same. Raises, and pay bumps must also be requested by the employee with a written document listing work quality.
@92ZYZRW3yrs3Y
People should be payed to their capabilities. If a man or women does a job worse pay them less or fire them.
@92YX7Z93yrs3Y
If the two individuals have the same experience, and skill, provide the same purpose and are equally sufficient, then yes. But many variables play into the wage gap that go much further than simple sexism.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, and non-binary individuals should be payed the same salary as well
@9375C2N3yrs3Y
yes, they should pay men and women the same hourly wage, but salary can be different due to factors such as hours worked
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, but pay should be based on results.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, they should, but only if they work the same amount of hours, under the same conditions in the same position and are just as competent and do the same amount of work.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Pay should be base don performance
@8YQ29HF3yrs3Y
If they do as good of a job.
Deleted4yrs4Y
yes if they have the same experience, education, and results.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, they should earn the same salary, if they work harder and do the same amount of work/hours, under the same conditions in the same position, and are just as competent unless they can't perform the job as adequately.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, women should have an opportunity to earn the same amount of salary as men, if they work harder and do the same amount of working hours, under the same conditions in the same position, and are just as competent unless they can't perform the job as adequately.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, if they work the same amount of hours and perform their job adequately, under the same conditions in the same position.

Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, women should have the opportunity to earn the same salary as men, if they work the same amount of hours and perform their job adequately, under the same conditions in each position, but I think pay should be merit-based.
@heatherdvdprincess3yrs3Y
No, there are too many other variables such as education, experience, tenure, and negotiation skills that determine a fair salary, and the government should never determine what a private business should pay employees, except for minimum wage
@36MRMN53yrs3Y
Yes, if they are qualified for the position.
@5BMM5HX3yrs3Y
Yes, assuming they have similar experience and education.
@8QG3TQJ4yrs4Y
Yes, if they have the same education and experience, and the only difference between them is their gender.
@heatherdvdprincess4yrs4Y
No, the government should never determine what a private business should pay employees, except for minimum wage
@4W48KKZ4yrs4Y
No, but employers should have clear guidelines on how they pay based on tenure, experience, etc. much like the federal government.
@8WNRNBZ3yrs3Y
The better action would be for all salary ranges and statistics to be published
@8WVSFDZ3yrs3Y
Yes, but, although the gender pay gap is real, the adjusted pay gap for work/revenue at the office is only about 5% according to numbers from 2010.
@jennamarie4yrs4Y
Yes, with employees with equal education, experience and time with/outside the business. Businesses should be required to publish their salary ranges for each position.
@92W2BVG3yrs3Y
It shouldn't be based on gender it should be based on the type of work you're doing.
@8D57BPF4yrs4Y
Employers should pay based on their qualifications and skill.
@8HDMV9J4yrs4Y
No, salaries are negotiated between the employer and employee
@92QJ5QN3yrs3Y
I think it matters on how much work one person is doing so if the women does more work then the man then the women should get more money for the same job
@8XHNZZH3yrs3Y
Honestly im not 100% sure
@8X3KQBN3yrs3Y
Yes, pay should be determined only by the amount and quality of work done, race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. should not affect the amount of pay given.
@8WPC6NZ3yrs3Y
Yes if women and men have the same amount of education, experience, and seniority at the job
@92JXK3J3yrs3Y
Only if the woman is equally as qualified as the man. Employers should not be required to pay an under qualified woman the same as a qualified man, and vice versa.
@92JXK3J2yrs2Y
We should not force equality. Just ensure that man and woman are paid equally for equal qualifications. If one is more qualified and does the work better, he/she should get paid more than an underqualified lazy person, and the gender pay gap is a myth created by feminists, just like many other myths, to get sympathy.
@Ujustgotjosephd4yrs4Y
No, but businesses should be required to push their salary ranges for each position
@8VC2Q883yrs3Y
Salary should be decided on productivity
@8QBN3SH4yrs4Y
I think with shown proof that both of them put the same amount of work in and same effort, then yes.
@8QT5JBT4yrs4Y
If they are just as qualified and they do the exact same job for the same amount of time then yes they should be paid the same
@8XVVHDP3yrs3Y
Yes, but under the premise that other variables such as education, experience, and tenure are factored in the decision of salary
@8TPZHT73yrs3Y
Yes, and abolish currency
@8M7T3MR4yrs4Y
Yes, only if they work the same hours and have the same qualifications
@57XN3G42yrs2Y
If a man and woman both have same education and experience, then yes.
@7KD4Z5Q3yrs3Y
Yes, assuming that education, experience, and tenure are comparable.
@75KRFBJ4yrs4Y
Employers should list a reasoning for salary that the employee can challenge.
@7P5T8434yrs4Y
Depends on the job, company, position, etc.
@7W3SBDC4yrs4Y
Improve the Equal Pay Act of 1963.
@87KZ8P54yrs4Y
No on same Salary. Yes on same hourly taking into account education, experience, and tenure.
@8B2SVYR4yrs4Y
No, because women do not work as hard as men do, take more breaks, and though they are performing the same job, women should be payed more, but not totally equally due to this.
@8BYL2TW4yrs4Y
Yes, if they have the same work output
@p.voight3162yrs2Y
Yes, but only at a base salary with room for increase based on education, experience, and tenure.
@8C5DPWM4yrs4Y
@8CNT65N4yrs4Y
As a starting price yes, but after taking into consideration all variables (education, experience, etc.), then the salary should be determined.
@8CQ4NFX4yrs4Y
Yes , Men and Women should be paid the same amount of money for the same job at the base and be paid for overtime the same amount.
@8CY5FJV4yrs4Y
Base it off how good they are at their ob not their gender, includes transgender as well
@8DRWG8D4yrs4Y
No, but businesses should be required to post salaries of all employees like the state and federal governments do in order to help both genders in their wage negotiations. Too many factors go into determining a pay rate but fair wage reporting will help in fairer pay across the board.
@8F3TJ7L4yrs4Y
Yes, if they have the same level of experience and education. Published pay scales would be good but not essential.
@8DZ9CQR4yrs4Y
Income should be based solely on job performance and other factors. Gender shouldn't be included.
@giannadavison8884yrs4Y
If a man and a women have the same job and are putting in the same amount of hard work then yes they should be paid the same. However if one is doing more then the other or their jobs are different, they should not be paid the same but not because of their difference in gender.
@8HF7ZMS3yrs3Y
yes but they must have the same amount of education
@8HL6Z3K4yrs4Y
Yes, but apply necessary raises. If one is working a lot better than the other, support it.
@8HVQNR44yrs4Y
Yes, even though we are both different people, we should be getting paid equally
@8JDNVJK4yrs4Y
No, the current requirements in the Equal Pay Act of 1963 are already sufficient but we should focus more on enforcement.
@8JGKCB64yrs4Y
It shouldn’t be based off of gender, instead be based off of how hard the individual works.
@8JMXZ6K4yrs4Y
Yes, men and women should pay paid the same for the same job depending on quality and experience, not sex.
@8JP8Y7P4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as men and women can do the same job.
@8KBPZQY4yrs4Y
They should be required to provide the same base salary but allow individual employees raise opportunities
@8KLLCKT4yrs4Y
The gender wage gap is a myth, it is more of an earnings gap based on multiple variables and life choices, the equal pay act is sufficient.
@8KPNKQP4yrs4Y
Yes, only if they have the same qualifications, education and tenure.
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, I don't support men being payed more, but I don't support a big government to help us solve our problems.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Yes, because unless the women in that business are proven to be not working as hard, it is discriminatory.
@8L2DQDJ4yrs4Y
yes but its already illegal too pay them differently and the wage gap doesn't exist
@8MF2HYV4yrs4Y
This is something that is hard to legislate (as is the race pay-gap) because of variables like education, experience, and tenure. However, incentivizing businesses to publish salary ranges publicly and explicitly name "qualifications" to address these gaps is something we as a society should do (and the federal govt could reinforce).
@8MNRQJ34yrs4Y
Yes, but if they have different jobs of more importance then the others they will get payed differently.
@8MM3Z884yrs4Y
Yes, If the quality of work is comparable there is no reason not to.
@8P4J7994yrs4Y
Yes only if there isn't a huge gap of skill and determination between them
@8QNVK2V4yrs4Y
However is a harder work and is more efficient should make more.
@8RB2K9D4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if their work are at the same quality. Also, ban the pink tax
@8RB2K9D4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if the specific employees deserve it, and we should also ban the pink tax
@8RB2K9D4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if they have similar education, experience, or/and tenure
