Recommendations
Based on what we heard in our engagements and what we learned from our research into
strategies to close gender and ethnic pay gaps internationally, we have prioritised six key
recommendations, which are set out below.
To further support our key recommendations and to
provide further guidance for government, employers,
unions and Pacific workers in the absence of existing
standard guidelines, we have outlined further crosssectoral actions for change in the conclusion to this
report.
Translations of the executive summary and some
of the key recommendations provided here and
in the conclusion to the report are available in
Pacific languages. Note that there is a shorter list of
recommendations in the translated versions – the full
set of recommendations is contained in this report.
The Commission’s recommendations to close
the Pacific Pay Gap by 2042
Key recommendations
Our six key recommendations, which we believe
are essential to closing the Pacific Pay Gap within
20 years, are all actions for the Government. Some
require legislative change, while others are focused
on monitoring and reporting requirements or policy
changes.
In advance of the release of this Report, and
recognising the urgent need for action, the
Commissioner has shared the high-level
recommendations with Government. All six key
recommendations are set out here for completeness.
