Equal Pay Day

Equal Pay Day (EPD) is the international day of action for equal pay for women and men.

Equal Pay Day symbolically marks the gender pay gap, which according to the Federal Statistical Office is currently 21 percent in Germany. This translates into 77 days.

Assuming men and women were paid the same hourly wage: Equal Pay Day would then mark the day until which women work for free, while men have been paid for their work since January 1. Next Equal Pay Day (EPD) is on March 06, 2024.

Further information can be found on the homepage of the Equal Pay Day.
