Gender Equality at Vilamouragest

National Day for Equal Pay

Raising Awareness

On the 14th of this month, Portugal marked National Day for Equal Pay, raising awareness of the gender pay gap and the need for equal pay for equal work.

In Portugal, women still earn 13.2% less than men on average, and when bonuses and allowances are factored in, this disparity increases to 16%. This highlights the continued need for change to ensure fair pay across all sectors.

We are proud to announce that Vilamouragest has received the Equal Pay Seal 2024 from the Commission for Equality in Labour and Employment (CITE). This recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to gender equality and equal pay for equal work. It underscores our dedication to closing the pay gap and ensuring fair compensation for all employees.

 

Key Statistics on Equal Pay:

 

  • Women in Portugal earn 13.2% less than men on average.
  • With bonuses and allowances, the pay gap rises to 16%.
  • The global gender pay gap is expected to take over 250 years to close at the current rate.
  • Companies with gender equality policies experience higher productivity, better employee satisfaction, and improved retention.

Receiving the Equal Pay Seal 2024 is one of the many ways Vilamouragest demonstrates its commitment to a fair and inclusive workplace. We are dedicated to continuing our efforts to close the gender pay gap and ensure equal recognition and compensation for all employees.
