Gender equality index

As part of public policy in favor of gender equality, public employers are required to measure and publish pay differentials within their establishments each year.

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

  • In 2023, this gap remained stable, at -5.6%, confirming the control of gaps.
