2021 must be the year to eliminate the Gender Pay Gap – Higgins
29th December 2020 - Emer Higgins, TD
2021 must be the year to eliminate the Gender Pay Gap, a Fine Gael TD and former Chief of Staff of Global Operations at PayPal has said.
Deputy Emer Higgins, Fine Gael TD for Dublin Mid-West, is encouraging the Government to press ahead with the Gender Pay Gap Bill as a matter of priority in 2021.
Deputy Higgins said: “The Government’s National Strategy for Women and Girls 2017-2020, prioritises addressing the Gender Pay Gap. There is an urgent need for legislation in this area given that Ireland’s Gender Pay Gap currently stands at 14.4%. I want to see the Government press ahead with the Gender Pay Gap Bill early in 2021 so that this issue gets the priority it deserves.

Eurofound’s research aims to assist policy action addressing the challenges and opportunities for the EU and national levels in the area of living conditions and quality of life. In particular, it will monitor the impact of COVID-19 and the ensuing economic crisis by providing knowledge on status, trends, risks, as well as ways to improve living conditions in the EU. Eurofound will focus on identifying and analysing pressing issues for the most vulnerable groups, specifically older citizens and young people. Eurofound will also inform policymakers by producing evidence on trends and drivers in relation to the delivery of public services, also linking in, for example, with the European Pillar of Social Rights.
Baltic startups defy pandemic, but struggle with diversity

Startup space in Vilnius / BNS
Funding for startups in the Baltics has increased in 2020, despite the Covid-19 pandemic. A new report suggests that the region’s tech firms still have work to do when it comes to diversity, however, as entrepreneurs are overwhelmingly male and hailing from the three capital cities of Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius.
The three Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania may only have a total population of around six million people, but are nevertheless home to several unicorns.
Pipedrive, a cloud-based CRM tool, was the latest to reach unicorn status when its valuation was put at about 1.5 billion US dollars last month following a major investment from Vista Equity Partners, an Austin, Texas-based VC firm.
