Gender equality index
Genesis of the index
The obligation to publish a professional equality index stems from the November 30, 2018 agreement on professional equality between women and men in the civil service. This mechanism was reinforced by decrees n°2023-1136 and n°2023-1137 of December 5, 2023, which specify the calculation methods and indicators to be taken into account.
The index is part of a logic of transparency, evaluation and progress, with a clear objective: to sustainably reduce unjustified pay gaps.
What the index measures
Three indicators are used to calculate an overall score out of 100 points:
- Gap in pay between women and men civil servants with equivalent corps, grade and step (out of 40 points)
- Gap in remuneration between women and men contractual employees in equivalent categories (out of 40 points)
- Share of women or men in the 10 highest-paid positions. (out of 20 points)
Inalco results
- 98/100 for the year 2022
✅ These results illustrate the consistency of our commitment to an equitable salary policy :
- In 2022, the average pay gap in FTE was -5.9% to the disadvantage of women.
- In 2023, this gap remained stable, at -5.6%, confirming the control of gaps.
- The highest-paid positions are equally distributed between the sexes (20/20 in 2022 and 2023).
