Abstract

The goal of this panel is to answer a central question of comparative gender policy studies: what contributes to successful gender equality policy in action? The papers on this panel focus on equal pay policies in democratic countries with employment policy frameworks that emphasize self-regulation and state intervention. Each paper maps out how equal pay policies at the national level were implemented and evaluated and whether they allowed for progress in highly entrenched gender-based salary inequities in each country. The common framework followed by all of the papers allows for fine grained analysis of post adoption at the “street level” identifying whether women were empowered in an intersectional way in those processes and whether outcomes were able to move toward more gender transformative outcomes in terms of gender as it is intertwined with other vectors of inequalities, like race, ethnicity, class, and sexual orientation and identity.
