Level the Paying Field
Welcome to Level the Paying Field where we explore issues related to economics, equity, women, work and money. This series of conversations explores topics impacting women working in Ontario and is published by Ontario’s Pay Equity Office. Part of our inspiration for launching this series was how, in the midst of a global pandemic which disproportionally impacted women around the world, global multilateral organizations came together to inaugurate the first ever International Equal Pay Day on September 18th 2020. This was an initiative led by United Nations members including Australia, Canada, Germany, Iceland, New Zealand, Panama, South Africa and Switzerland with a total of 105 UN member states co-sponsoring the resolution to establish September 18th as “International Equal Pay Day”. Through this series, we hope to elevate the equity conversation to make the world a more equitable place for women to work, live, and thrive, and support closing the gender wage gap.Podcast in English only.

Bienvenue dans le site de la série Équité salariale: des règles de rémunération équitables où nous explorons des enjeux qui concernent l’économie, l’équité, les femmes, le travail et l’argent. Cette série de discussions explore des sujets ayant des implications pour les femmes qui travaillent en Ontario et est diffusée par le Bureau de l’équité salariale. Ce qui nous a en partie inspirés pour le lancement de cette série a été l’initiative d’organisations multilatérales internationales qui, durant une pandémie mondiale marquée par des répercussions disproportionnées sur les femmes autour du globe, se sont unies pour inaugurer la toute première Journée internationale de l’égalité de rémunération le 18 septembre 2020. Cette initiative a été menée par des membres des Nations Unies, dont l’Australie, le Canada, l’Allemagne, l’Islande, la Nouvelle Zélande, le Panama, l’Afrique du Sud et la Suisse, avec au total 105 États membres des Nations Unies coparrainant la résolution qui fixe au 18 septembre la Journée internationale de l’égalité de rémunération. Dans le cadre de cette série, nous espérons rehausser la discussion sur l’équité pour faire de la planète un lieu plus équitable où les femmes peuvent travailler, vivre et s’épanouir et pour favoriser la fermeture de l’écart salarial entre les sexes.Suivez nous sur LinkedIn et Twitter pour obtenir des mises à jour.
