Closing the Gender Wage Gap Through Data Analysis & Innovation
Abstract
The Boston Women's Workforce Council (BWWC) is a collaboration between the City of Boston under Mayor Martin J. Walsh's administration and Boston University. Through a data-driven approach, the BWWC works to collect accurate and unimpeachable data to provide evidence of the gender wage gap and encourage membership in the 100% Talent Compact. The Compact is a partnership in which businesses pledge to take concrete, measurable steps to eliminate the wage gap in their companies. Through these initiatives, as well as salary negotiation workshops and legislation, the City of Boston provides a unique model of methods and best practices to eliminate the gender wage gap, beginning at the local level.
