Austria misses a rule from the EU. The country must make a law for pay transparency. The goal is clear. Women and men earn the same money. Women earn less money in Austria. The gap is 17,6 percent.
In the EU, the gap is smaller. It is 11,1 percent. Minister Klaudia Schumann has a plan. But the parties do not say yes yet. They argue about the rules.
Other countries have the law already. Austria fears too much work with paper. The EU checks the situation now. Austria can get a fine. This is a law procedure.
