Unlocking Equal Pay

This panel discussion, Unlocking Equal Pay, focuses on a book presentation, “Bridging the Gender Pay Gap through Transparency.” Romana Wochner is a policymaker at the Chamber of Labor. “Law is social, and it’s not only social, but it’s a very political field.” When she was still studying at the University of Vienna, law was often taught as a given fact, not as something shaped by people's decisions. If we continue with the idea that laws make ideas become reality, gender equality and the feminist perspective should have an easier path. At least, that’s what we should hope for and work towards, according to her.
