Join us for IWPR’s 2026 Power+ Summit, The Power Grid: Driving Gender Equity Forward, taking place September 28–29 in Detroit, MI.
Together, we will spark bold ideas, share breakthroughs, and shape the future of gender equity.
This brief compiles recent research on the impact of equal pay laws and policies on the gender wage gap. It presents studies under five topic areas: (1) salary history bans; (2) pay transparency policies; (3) gender and salary negotiations; (4) gender bias in performance management and performance-related pay; and (5) occupational segregation and gender, racial, and ethnic wage gaps.
A collaboration between Equal Pay Today! and IWPR, this resource aims to equip advocates, researchers, and policymakers with recent, relevant data on equal pay laws and policies.
