On 14 April 2014, the main findings of the Commission's annual gender equality report published along with the annual report on fundamental rights showed that efforts paid off: concrete progress had been made in the area of addressing the gender pay gap – notably through an initiative by the Commission to improve pay transparency – or increasing the number of women on company boards. But challenges remain: under current rates of progress, it will take almost 30 years to reach the EU’s target of 75% of women in employment, 70 years to make equal pay a reality and 20 years to achieve parity in national parliaments (at least 40% of each gender). |
