It’s always been seen as taboo in Switzerland – but a survey says people want it to change – especially women.
Knowing how much we all earn.
A study by the Blick newspaper shows clearly workers want more wage transparency.
It’s especially true for those on lower pay. More than half of workers would like their companies to publish salaries. Those earning over CHF 10,000 a month are less keen.
Many feel they’re not being paid what they deserve. 43% of women have that view compared to 28% of men. The gap between higher earners and those on less is widening. High incomes have increased by 40% over the last 20 years and low pay is up only 12%.
Government figures show around 65% of those earning less than CHF 4,000 a month are women.
Many feel more wage transparency would help inequality.
