Affirmative Action on steroids. Employers will be forced by pay women more than men just to make sure they don’t get sued by the government.
I don’t know what gets people to overlook salient details like the degree of dedication to the job or flexibility required. This does vary by gender, although if a woman wants to go to all the trouble of being indistinguishable from a man, then there is no logical reason she shouldn’t then get exactly the same. I doubt that this is the problem, however.
“the unadjusted gender pay gap remained at 17%”
There’s the key, “unadjusted” for hours worked, overtime, time off, etc.
They may have to make it illegal for male employees to keep working after the women in the workplace leave in order for this to work. Some woman in the office takes maternity leave? Sorry, go home boys, we have to close up for a few months!
What about the pay gap between adults and children?
Have some more Lutefisk, idiots.
The total degeneration of the Europeans. The reason why they are giving in to Islamophobia.
I really think those people need monarchy and aristocracy and I’m not talking Queen Beatrix or Elizabeth.
I mean more like Richard I or Henry V or Charlemagne.

Wanna bet that if this results in men earning LESS than women, that there will not be a peep about “equality?”
Iceland has a population of what, 300,000 or so? And most of them are 42nd cousins so what’s the big deal?
They can get away with screwing up their industry. Their population is the size of an American suburb and they have virtually free energy because of their natural resources.
I wouldn’t recommend what they’re doing in a real country.
Re: “Iceland’s parliament is examining a bill that would require companies to prove they offer equal pay to employees.”
Another good reason for business owners to buy expert software and robots.
In some countries (Finland in particular) a women can take up to 2 years for maternity leave. Seems to me that 2 years off the job would put that person 2 years behind a person who did not take that same time off. Is this taken into account when determining equal pay?
Men should simply “self-identify” as women while at work. Problem solved.
Stupidity has short term satisfaction for the perpetrators but long term negative consequences for everyone - so what will be the long term consequences for this stupid act?
Ivanka to the President: “Daddy, Daddy, look! Iceland gets it, why doesn’t the stupid Patriarchy here get it?”
If Iceland goes through with joining the EU their elected males will be able to take personal days when they have menstrual cramps.
