Promoting equality in Finland: a joint responsibility
Abstract
Starts by stating that women are no longer a marginal group in the Finnish labour market and proceeds to explain recent changes in legislation, attitudes and behaviours, which have facilitated this situation. Draws on the involvement and insights of the author as a former Equality Ombudsperson for Finland. Concludes that the issue of equal pay for work of equal value remains difficult to resolve although job evaluation schemes are proving helpful. Also identifies areas for further equality.
