District Mayor Jörn Oltmann set a clear sign against wage justice on the occasion of the Equal Pay Day. Together with the women's and equal opportunities officer and other local representatives, he drawn attention to the existing problem of the unequal payment of women. Under the motto "High time for Equal Pay" it was particularly pointed out this year that women still work three times more often part-time than men, which is often due to the unequal distribution of care work.

This year's Equal Pay Day campaign addresses the redistribution of care work, gainful employment and leisure and asks how these areas can be divided more fairly in the future. Approaches such as digitization and job sharing are also discussed, which could help reduce the gender gap in wage compensation. District Mayor Jörn Oltmann emphasized the importance of a fair division of acquisition and care work, especially against the background of the shortage of skilled workers.

Overall, there is an urgent need for action in order to overcome wage relief between the sexes and to ensure a fairer distribution of work and time. Further information on the Equal Pay Day and this year's campaigns are available on the corresponding website.
