Overview
- The marker is derived from INSEE data showing a 14.2% gap on a full‑time equivalent basis, 22.3% across all sectors and schedules, and 3.8% within the same firm at equal competence.
- This year's time point shifts from 8 November at 16:48 last year, and the group warns pay parity would not arrive until 2167 at the current pace.
- A key driver cited is part‑time work, with 30% of employed women in part‑time roles versus 8% of men.
- Proposed remedies include conditioning public contracts and subsidies on pay equality, revaluing female‑dominated professions, and instituting equivalent, mandatory parental leave.
- The government is preparing to transpose an EU pay‑transparency directive for larger firms, which Les Glorieuses say would apply from 2026.
