On international women’s day, I’m grateful that I’m in Europe, where as a woman I have a lot more freedom and opportunities than I might have elsewhere.
France is still not great on equality of pay: women earn 9% less for the same job as a man, and 25% less over a lifetime career. Things are getting better though. From March 1st this year, every company in France with over 50 employees has to produce an index of professional equality between men and women, and companies that show inequality will be named and shamed.
The other good thing about France is the excellent childcare: subsidised nurseries based on your income, free kindergarten from age 3, subsidised holiday clubs, tax credits for childcare...it makes it much easier for both parents to work (and let’s face it, it’s often the mother who stops work when childcare is too expensive.)
What are conditions like where you are?
