“Equal pay is the challenge of all of us – Ambassador of Austria Thomas Muehlmann told The Checkpoints in a recent interview - If we look at statistics, Austria is about 80% which means that women still earn 20% less than men.
In Georgia it is even worse, I think women earn about 65% of men earn. There is a lot to be done still.” According to the Ambassador, the labor code is a very good step in the right direction to make entrepreneurs pay the same amount of salary to women what they pay to men.
“But of course it is all about implementation. We will see the results not immediately, but we will see the results in a couple of months and years” – Thomas Muehlmann said.
