HELSINKI (Reuters) – The Finnish government has cancelled plans to overhaul equality legislation aimed at narrowing the pay gap between men and women in Finland, the government said in a statement on Monday.
The government said the ruling parties had not reached an agreement over how to strengthen pay transparency with legislation, as they vowed to do in a program published after Prime Minister Sanna Marin took the reins in late 2019.
