Gender Equality a Catch-22 Issue in Estonia, Says Presidential Adviser
After a report placed Estonia 59th in gender equality in the world, far behind Latvia and Lithuania, presidential adviser Iivi Anna Masso said that the issue in Estonia seems to be stuck in an endless loop.
People say that women are paid less because they do not approach employers for a raise, while the attitude of society is that women are worth less because they are not brave enough to ask for a raise, Masso said, speaking to uudised.err.ee on Friday.
