The new edition of our GENIE country guide, Gender pay transparency: A global guide to employer obligations, brings you the latest pay transparency developments across Europe, Asia Pacific, Africa, the Americas, and the Middle East, covering over 50 countries.

New for June 2026, the guide also includes content for Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

Our guide comes at a time when the deadline for EU Member States to implement the Directive has passed. It highlights the countries which have met the deadline, as well as the progress being made in the jurisdictions which have not yet met the requirements, together with the expected timeframes for compliance.

For each country in Europe and beyond, the guide highlights employers' gender pay gap reporting requirements, as well as rules relating to pre-employment pay transparency and the rights of employees to be given pay information.

You can also compare and contrast the information for multiple countries and create a tailored report. If time is short, our Table also gives an at-a-glance overview of the obligations in each country.
