💯Exam Topper: Iceland Shares hacks

Home to the Northern Lights, they’re now the guiding light on pay parity.

Iceland boasts the Equal Pay Certification Law. It requires organizations with 25 or more employees to back up their pay practices with solid data.

This isn’t just some checkbox exercise. Companies go through regular audits and use the Equal Pay Standard (ÍST 85) – a formal framework to identify and fix pay gaps.

If companies don’t comply, they face rigorous fines. That’s accountability with teeth.

Here’s why it’s impressive to us:

• Proactive, not reactive: Icelandic companies are required to audit themselves
• Transparency builds trust: Clear and fair pay structures create a culture of trust and respect
• Anti-armchair activism: Making it legally mandatory ensures this isn’t just a feel-good initiative

Obviously, Iceland ranks #1 on the Global Gender Gap Index.

Can you guess India’s score? God, it’s report card anxiety all over again.
