Belgian Gender Wage Gap Persists: Private-Sector Women Earn 19.2% Less
Le SoirLO·BE·2 days ago
Belgian social partners in the cleaning sector have concluded a collective labor agreement (CCT) prohibiting flexi-jobs, except for pensioners, effective since July when flexi-jobs were broadly allowed. This sectoral opt-out applies to cleaning in schools, businesses, and hospitals, but not to service voucher cleaning. The move reflects ongoing labor market negotiations and sector-specific regulation.
