    根据新的立法,拥有超过25名员工的公司和政府机构,须持有男女工资平等的证明,否则将面临巨额罚款。

    由冰岛第二位女总理卡特琳·雅各布斯多蒂尔领导的政府承诺,将在2022年前消除男女收入不平等。

    Iceland has long been deemed the best country in the world to be a woman, topping the World Economic Forum's gender equality index for the past nine years.

    冰岛一直被认为是世界上最适宜女性生存的国家,连续九年高居世界经济论坛“性别平等指数”的榜首。

    Women are highly educated, with a high percentage holding managerial positions, supported by the state to pursue careers whilst balancing family commitments.

    冰岛女性受教育程度高,担任管理职位的比例也很高,在国家的支持下,在平衡家庭责任同时追求事业发展。

    "I hope that some day we will reach a gender equality, but I'm also very aware that it's very deep rooted," Jakobsdottir said. "It's an ongoing3 fight."

    雅各布斯多蒂尔表示:“我希望有一天我们能实现男女平等,但我也很清楚现有观念根深蒂固。这是一场持续的战斗。”
