Abstract
Abstract This chapter investigates the implementation and impact of equal pay mapping in Sweden, a regulatory measure introduced in 1994 and revised multiple times, most recently in 2017 under the Discrimination Act (2008:567). Despite a narrowing gender pay gap—down to 10.2% in 2024—the long-term trend has stagnated, and recent increases suggest limited progress. Empirical research reveals widespread non-compliance and resistance to legal development, underscoring a persistent gap between policy and practice. Decentralized wage formation precludes direct legal intervention in wage setting, although anti-discrimination provisions and pay mapping rules exert indirect influence. The analysis concludes that Sweden’s approach remains caught between gender accommodation and transformation. While policy revisions reflect gender equality norms, they remain constrained by institutional traditions, hindering substantive change. The chapter closes by acknowledging that although equal pay mapping may have contributed to increased awareness, its role in closing the gender pay gap remains modest.
