Employees Can Check Co-workers’ Salaries in Finland by 2023

The Finland government is planning to come up with an extremely different law that allows the employees in an organization to check their colleagues’ salaries. We have seen in so many countries that gender division in salaries arises. For example, men get higher salaries than women. The people and world has been changed so much from before and so it’s time to introduce an equal level of pay to both genders.

In order to make a change in the terms of pay scenario, the government of Finland hopes that by the introduction of this new law, every employee gets clarity about others’ pay. Passing this law, every employee will be having a right to check their colleagues’ salaries. This can help to reduce the fights regarding gender partiality salary payments.

There are some unions who believe that introducing this law, might lead to a huge conflict among people which can affect the job. But instead of thinking about the negative effect which may or may not takes place, let’s get into the positive things and the reason behind this law introduction.

Even though proper gender equality is there in Finland, most of the peoples’ salaries won’t prove so. According to many researchers’ opinions, the major reason for gender inequality is that many employers have biases towards women. Many sectors will be led by men only because that work might be tough enough which need high physical strength. So that those works and sectors might not include women. So, this literally turned into male-dominated professions.

The other important reason is that male employees don’t take maternity leaves. But women do. This creates a gap in their career.

As per the pay equality index of 2020 which is published by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the women in Finland earn 17.2 percent lesser than men. The law is expected to be passed by the year 2023. This law could create a vibrant change in everyone’s salaries irrespective of the gender division.
