Closing the gender pay gap in Jordan - Arabic version

In 2010, the Policy Brief on Pay Equity in Jordan, developed by the ILO in partnership with the Jordanian National Commission for Women (JNCW), pointed to continued gender-based pay discrimination at work. A subsequent Policy Roundtable on Pay Equity recommended that a focused initiative on pay equity could help to eliminate the gender pay gap. The establishment of a strong institutional framework for action on pay equity, the creation of evidence-based policies and action and legislative amendments were among the concrete activities proposed by national constituents to close the gender pay gap in the country.
