The five indicators used by the French Government to construct the index and their respective weighting are:

  • the pay gap
  • the difference in the distribution of pay increases
  • the spread of promotions
  • the percentage of employees receiving a pay increase on their return from maternity leave
  • the number of women and men in the company top 10 wages


The results obtained by each French subsidiary for each of these 5 indicators are available in the table below.
