However, these mechanisms do not yet exist in the country, and Congress still has pending the development of secondary legislation for their implementation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">This context presents an opportunity to move toward greater gender equality in the labor market. For this reason, the<\/span><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"> Mexican Institute for Competitiveness (IMCO), with support from the British Embassy in Mexico, presents seven mechanisms to eliminate the gender pay gap in the country, aimed at both the public and private sectors<\/span><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">. Highlighting these actions will help leverage the current legislative momentum and public interest to achieve tangible progress within companies in Mexico.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Key actions for the public sector<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">1. Standardize the measurement of the gender pay gap.<\/span><\/strong> <span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">It is essential for federal authorities to define a standardized methodology that allows for the accurate and comparable measurement and interpretation of the gender pay gap across different companies and sectors. To achieve this, it is necessary to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Develop regular indicators to identify pay disparities by gender and hierarchical level.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Establish pay gap thresholds that trigger compensatory measures when significant wage differences are identified.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"><strong><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">2. Move toward pay transparency.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"> Lack of salary transparency within companies perpetuates inequality. It is essential to establish mechanisms for companies to disclose and analyze their gender pay gaps by job level. This requires:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Mandatory reporting of gender pay gaps in financial and sustainability reports, or alternatively, the provision of salary information upon employee request and the publication of salary ranges in job postings.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Starting with companies with more than 250 employees, as they typically have greater internal management capacity and workforce stability.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Gradual implementation to ease adoption and allow consultation periods.

Strengthen the National Care System (Sistema Nacional de Cuidados \u2013 SNC).<\/span> <\/strong><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">The lack of care services limits women&#8217;s participation in the labor market.

To accelerate the system\u2019s implementation, it is necessary to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Consider extended parental leave, financial benefits, and access to health and childcare services.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Expand care service coverage and ensure access for all workers, regardless of employment status.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Allocate sustainable funding and investment, along with monitoring mechanisms to assess the SNC\u2019s impact on narrowing the gender gap.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Key actions for the private sector<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"><strong><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">4. Establish inclusive recruitment and promotion processes.<\/span> <\/strong><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">The gender pay gap often begins at the hiring stage, where women tend to receive lower starting salaries than their male peers. Companies can:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Implement gender-neutral job descriptions with clear requirements and promote blind recruitment by removing demographic information to avoid unconscious bias.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Conduct interviews focused on skills and experience, and avoid questions about family plans or salary history.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Establish clear promotion criteria and mentorship programs specifically designed to support women\u2019s career advancement.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"><strong><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">5. Design standardized pay scales.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"> Having structured salary bands helps reduce discretion in pay decisions and ensures that wages are based on objective criteria. It is recommended to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Establish clear salary ranges by job level, conduct regular reviews to identify and correct gaps, and ensure equal pay for work of equal value.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Implement effective complaint mechanisms and carry out regular monitoring to detect inconsistencies.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"><strong><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">6. Conduct pay audits and obtain gender equality certifications.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"> External audits help identify inequalities within organizational structures.

Promote and institutionalize inclusion policies.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"> Flexible work arrangements and shared responsibility for care and household duties have a direct impact on women\u2019s economic participation.
