Hello, My name is Marianne and I'm from France. Today the question is, "Do women have equal pay in your country?" Unfortunately, no. Women in France they don't receive the same salary as men if if we talk about the same age, same conditions, same position, same skills, same experience, no unfortunately, women do not receive the same salary. It is very surprising in a country like France that is a democracy and a developed country to see that until now, until today, woman have such a disadvantage.
I have read a recent report by the United Nations that says that actually there is a gap of 20% of salary difference between men and women in France.
So we have to fight against this very conservative idea and archaic system that has been settled down for centuries.
So it is difficult to make a sudden change, but we are slowly reaching to a more equal condition for men and women in France.
