Should employers be required to pay men and women the same salary for the same job?

If men are more productive, they should be payed more. If women are more productive, they should be payed more.

The wage gap is real and needs to be addressed but transparency and policy rather than law or regulation is the best approach

Judge the fairly and equally based off of qualification

Yes, if other variables such as education, experience and tenure are the same

Yes or no depends on what they can do

Yes, if it actually is the same job.

Yes, if they do the same level of work and get the job done just as fast

Businesses should publish a salary range for each position. Gender, age, and ethnicity should not come into the payment for a role

Yes if all other things are equal in terms of experience, education, skills etc

No, but greater pay transparency should be required.

Yes, provided they have the same skills and work ethic

Yes, provided both do the same role equally.

Exactly the same job - yes

Men and women should be paid for their skill, gender is irrelevant.

Yes, but taking into consideration skill, duration of Employment and pay raises over time, not just blind equality

Depends on circumstances, the wage gap is exaggerated as it's based on skill and hours worked. This applies the both genders

they should be payed more if they do more work but if they don't do the same amount of work then it would be unfair for the person who works harder so if they work the same amount then they should be payed the same

Women and left wings experience choices legend former US president Donald Trump and former UK Prime minister's office dramatic for affairs

Yes but depending on experience and proven skill

Yes ij they have the same capability and capacity

Gender should not come into play when deciding what someone gets paid! It is about ability, education, training, etc

It is impossible to say whether 2 people actually have the same job / do the same work, even if they have the same title. Instead by introducing a UBI, we increase the power labour, and issues such as these can actually be resolved

Yes if it’s the same job men and women should be paid the same. Same should be done with race. Wages/salary should be public info

Yes, if a man and a women both have the same qualifications and experience then the pay should be the same

Yes as long as other variables as mentioned above are taken into consideration. there should be no gender pay gap

Yes the base pay should be the same but the variables such as education, experience, and tenure need to be factored in. But gender shouldn’t affect pay decisions

Yes, if they have the same qualifications and contribute to the business in the same way

no, but govt agencies should be required to report pay statistics

No, but equal pay legislation should be simple to enforce, so that employees have easy recourse to justice.

No, but make salaries public so employees can negotiate fairly

Yes but more protection to support parental absences which is the only reason for the perception of the so called gender pay gap. There is no legitimate reason for differing rates of pay if this does occur and is already legislated against through the BORA.

Yes if both have same experience and qualifications.

people should be paid based on experience, education and ability to do the job. but if there is an equal starting point then a man and woman should be paid the same for the same job

Yes, but with weighting for lifestyle decisions and other benefits included.

Gender should not be a factor. Other factors such as level of qualification should be deciding whether or not a salary should increase

Yes, but according to how many hours your work

Yes if their experience and education is within the same range. Especially if another man would be offered the same pay in a similar range.

No, but government should have resources available to help those who experience it.

Yes so long as the candidates are comparable. If the women is more experienced and competent than their male counterpart, then they should get paid more

All things equal (education, experience, skills) - yes. Plus publish the pay bands and include pay range in the job ads - that should be mandatory.

Yes, if they generate same revenue.

Yes, if their experience and skill level are the same.

This legislation has been in place for 50 years. It's the wrong question

Yes, as long as there is equal performance for the same job

No, but make pay gap publishing mandatory

There should be clear salary ranges for all positions but they should take into account education, experience and tenure as to where in the salary range they would sit.

depending on the level each work at

No, there are variables to consider but the gap should be published in consideration of these variables to determine the worth of the variables when considering pay.

No, but their should be potential for both to earn same amount in same position when education, experience and tenure is factored in.

Pay should be based on the skill level of the employee, not the gender!

No but all organisations should have to publish their gender pay gap

Well if they are doing the exact same job and have the same qualifications yes, but if just because they are a woman doesn't mean they have to get paid more, Men tend to do the dirty working jobs which pay more, It is riduculous to say that they aren't getting paid equally when in reality women tend to not do the jobs that are dangerous and get you dirty.

Yes, unless its a viewship funded job such as football where the men get much more views and sponsorships then the women.

Yes, differences in experience and qualifications are fair reasons for pay differences, but gender alone should never justify a pay gap.

This should be based in skill and ability to do a job and remuneration set accordingly

Yes if they giving the same results and outcomes.

It should take into consideration other factors, but if both employees are same level, it should remain the same. Company should also publish wages on job descriptions

No, but wages/salaries should be allowed to be discussed publicly and supersede confidentially clauses.

Pay for the role being completed not the candidate. If you do the same role as me to the same standard then you can earn the same as me regardless of gender/age/race/affiliation/experience/tenure/education

Yes, but only if women are not taking time off to have children and therefore have less experience and tenure than men. Women should not be paid as much as men if they expect to work less hours, have reduced duties and require more flexible work conditions if they have children to take care of. Contribution and time served should be equal if salary is expected to be equal regardless of personal circumstances.

Yes, if it is actually real, not a twisted statistic.

They should be paid in accordance to their experience and qualifications irrelevant to their gender

Yes, employers should pay men and women the same salary for the same job unless variables such as education, experience and tenure come into the mix as that would be fair.

They should make a percentage difference that they need to aim for.

No should be based on merit and other variables such as education, experience, and tenure that determine a fair salary

Yes but in fairness peyment should also be influenced by experience.

Yes, but a salary or wage should reflect the qualifications, skills and experience of an employee regardless of gender

No, there are too many other variables, but someone should not be paid less JUST because of their gender

No, men should be paid less

Yes if have same experience

No, there are many variables That determine a fair salary but businesses should strive to minimise the gender pay gap

No, this is irrelevant because the gender wage gap is a myth, in any case this IS already the law

Yes, if the experience and skill are the same

depending on the nature of the business

yes but not for the "same job" as currently interpreted by govt and courts. Must be the actual same job and not a subjective assessment. It is ok to pay different people different salaries for the same job due to their different value to the company but gender should not form part of that value assessment.

Deal with root cause - make parental leave equitable (as per Iceland)

If their skills, experience, ability, attitude and knowledge of the industry are equal absolutely

Yes, but those who are more qualified or have more experience can be eligible to earn more despite gender. And businesses should be required to publish their salary ranges for each position.

Wages should be calculated one experience, education etc which should not be effected for whatever gender you are.

Pay more to those who have more knowledge and skill, not based on gender.

It should be merit based but discrimination based on gender should be abolished and that can be done with more pay transparency.

Its not about the same job, its about the work output. If I do less work than my work colleagues, or don't do as good a job, I shouldn't expect to be paid as much as they are being paid

Yes. If the averagereluts of the work is the same

Yes, but this is irrelevant because they already do

Yes the base pay for a role needs to be equal regardless of gender (pay rises for performance etc are more nuanced)

Yes but equal pay should reflect relevant experience not just the job title.

No this is the whole reason we can’t afford single income families any more

They should pay them the same amount based on education and experience not on gender

They should be paid on how much work they are doing, if women are doing more pay them more, if men are doing more pay them more.

No, because other factors can influence pay but salary ranges should be published for each position.

What value do we place on work traditionally done by women compared to work traditionally done by men, and is it reflected in pay?

Do you believe that the gender wage gap is a product of societal norms, and how can we change that?

In terms of career opportunities and growth, how might equal pay influence your career choices?

Can you think of any reasons why two people doing the same job should be paid differently?

If you discovered a co-worker of the opposite sex was being paid less for the same work, what would you do?

How might your viewpoint on gender pay equality change if it was a family member being paid less?
