Economic and Financial Committee is one of the six main standing committees of the United Nations General Assembly. The Second Committee is responsible for examining problems in the area of global finances and economics.

​

Women are generally paid less than men. Which is why the agenda item of ECOFIN is Gender Pay Gap. The gender pay gap or gender wage gap is the average difference between the remuneration for men and women who are working.

​

The gender pay gap can be a problem from a public policy perspective even when the reason for the gap is entirely voluntary because it reduces economic output and means that women are more likely to be dependent upon welfare payments, especially in old age.

​

This committee is suitable for beginner and intermediate delegates.

Agenda Item: GENDER PAY GAP
