Zur Entgeltgleichheit von Frauen und Männern

Women still earn 23% less than their male collegues. But hardly ever, they sue their employers. Why? What bounderies keep women from accessing law and how can we overcome them with legal mecanisms? First, we have to analyse the effectiveness of the law. In several studies, is showed, that above all, the lack of informations in companies keeps Lawsuits from building up. For this reason, the book gives several options to improve informationrights of employees and discusses those under the view of law doctrines as well as sociology of law.
The Author especially discusses the following theses:
• to evaluate whether women get discriminated regarding their payment, they need more transparency, up to individual demands if necesseray.
• For that, there have to be changings in the law of evidence and in the duties of employers as well as in the definition of the AGG.
