"Cash Investigation" focuses this Tuesday on the persistent gap (22.8%) between the wages of men and women, calculated by INSEE. - First TV lines

Pay inequalities between men and women at the heart of the next Cash Investigation. The Elise Lucet show on Tuesday on France 2 tackles this problem on which progress is modest and mentalities slow to evolve. The starting point of this survey entitled "Balance your wages", signed Zoé de Bussière, is the persistent gap (22.8%) between the wages of men and women, calculated by INSEE. And yet, a law imposes equal remuneration, for equal work, since ... 1972. The show will focus in particular on two sectors: the professions of finance and nurses.

With as always a tone sometimes educational, sometimes biting, Elise Lucet's magazine contains testimonies and case studies, to illustrate phenomena such as the glass ceiling or the effect of pregnancies and maternity on careers. But also to highlight cases of discrimination and harassment, and to take stock of reforms with the taste of incomplete or even tinged with bitterness.

At the bank, the difference climbs to 36%. While women represent 57% of employees, they are only 16% of managers. The investigation exposes in particular a group action launched a few months ago by the CGT against the Ile-de-France Savings Bank, and studies the case of Natixis, another subsidiary of the BPCE group.

Inequalities in the hospital

At the hospital, where the nurses, yet erected as heroines of the fight against the Covid-19, have situations far from dreaming. With an instructive detour through Quebec, land of "pay equity". Nurses are among the most feminized professions, which are alike by their low wages, often despite the harshness of their working conditions (night or shift schedules, heavy loads, etc.).

Celebrated during the health crisis, they are however poorly placed in terms of wages, with wages lower than their Spanish or Greek colleagues, and lower than those of predominantly male trades of technician type, whose skills are generally close but the responsibilities less .

And their latest salary conquest, recalls the survey, was accompanied by a consequent sacrifice: a reform of 2010/2011 forced the nurses of the public hospital then in activity to choose between maintaining the right to retirement at 57, or a salary increase (change from category B to A) accompanied by a retirement postponed to 62 (which has become the norm for new hires since then).
