Mexico Equal Pay Inspection Requirements

Overview

The reform to Article 86 of Mexico's Federal Labor Law (Ley Federal del Trabajo, LFT) represents a pivotal legislative advancement aimed at solidifying the principle of equal pay for work of equal value. This amendment, part of a broader decree published in the Diario Oficial de la Federación (DOF) on December 16, 2024, and effective the following day, December 17, 2024, introduces explicit mandates for labor authorities to conduct inspections to ensure compliance with non-discriminatory remuneration practices. The core purpose of this reform is to move beyond a mere declarative statement of equal pay, transforming it into a verifiable and enforceable reality within all workplaces across Mexico. It directly addresses the historical and persistent gender pay gap, which has been a significant barrier to substantive equality and economic justice for women in the country. This legislative initiative was driven by a recognition that despite constitutional and legal provisions, a significant disparity in earnings between men and women persisted, necessitating a more proactive governmental role in enforcement.

Prior to this reform, Article 86 of the LFT already stipulated that “A trabajo igual, desempeñado en puesto, jornada y condiciones de eficiencia también iguales, debe corresponder salario igual” (Equal pay for equal work, performed in the same position, working hours, and efficiency conditions). However, the absence of specific, mandatory inspection mechanisms often rendered this principle difficult to enforce in practice. The new second paragraph added to Article 86 rectifies this by explicitly empowering and obligating the Secretaría del Trabajo y Previsión Social (STPS) and its state-level counterparts to carry out regular and targeted inspections. This institutionalizes a proactive approach to identifying and correcting discriminatory pay practices, thereby strengthening the legal framework for pay equity and providing a clear pathway for governmental intervention where pay disparities are suspected or identified.

The reform is not an isolated measure but is deeply rooted in Mexico's constitutional commitments to equality and its international obligations. It aligns with the principles enshrined in Article 4 of the Mexican Constitution, which guarantees equality between men and women, and reinforces the country's adherence to international labor standards, particularly the International Labour Organization (ILO) Conventions No. 100 on Equal Remuneration and No. 111 on Discrimination (Employment and Occupation). By establishing clear inspection requirements, the Mexican government aims to accelerate the eradication of the gender pay gap, which has been reported to be as high as 13% to 34% in various sectors according to different studies, thereby promoting economic autonomy for women and fostering a more equitable labor market. This comprehensive approach reflects a national commitment to achieving substantive equality and combating economic violence against women, integrating the inspection requirements into the broader framework of existing labor regulations.

Definitions

The reform to Article 86 of the Federal Labor Law, alongside other related legislative changes, relies on several key definitions to ensure clarity and comprehensive application of equal pay principles. Central to this is the term “salario” (wage or salary), which, according to Article 82 of the LFT, is defined as the remuneration that the employer must pay to the worker for their work. This definition is broad, encompassing not only the ordinary, minimum, or basic salary but also any other emolument in money or in kind paid directly or indirectly by the employer to the worker in concept of their employment, as further elaborated by ILO Convention 100, which Mexico has ratified. This comprehensive understanding of 'salario' ensures that all components of compensation, including benefits and bonuses, are subject to the equal pay principle.

The crucial concept of “igualdad de remuneración entre la mano de obra masculina y la mano de obra femenina por un trabajo de igual valor” (equal remuneration for male and female workers for work of equal value) is fundamental. This expression, derived directly from ILO Convention 100, signifies that remuneration rates must be fixed without discrimination based on sex. The LFT's Article 86, even prior to the recent reform, established the principle of “a trabajo igual, desempeñado en puesto, jornada y condiciones de eficiencia también iguales, debe corresponder salario igual.” The reform reinforces this by mandating inspections to verify this principle, ensuring that the value of work, rather than the gender of the worker, dictates compensation. The Ley General para la Igualdad entre Mujeres y Hombres further defines “igualdad salarial” as equal remuneration for work of equal value, without distinguishing sex, gender, gender identity, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, age, disabilities, social, economic, health, or legal condition, among others, providing a robust legal foundation for non-discrimination.

Another critical term is “brecha salarial de género” (gender pay gap), which the broader decree published on December 16, 2024, defines as the difference in salary retribution between women and men due to gender reasons, regarding the performance of remunerated work of equal value. This definition acknowledges that the disparity is not merely coincidental but often stems from systemic gender-based discrimination, including factors like occupational segregation, undervaluation of female-dominated roles, and career interruptions. The concept of “trabajo digno o decente” (decent work), as outlined in Article 2 of the LFT, also underpins these reforms, emphasizing work that respects human dignity, is free from discrimination, provides access to social security, and offers a remunerative salary. These interconnected definitions provide a robust legal framework for understanding, identifying, and ultimately eradicating pay inequality, ensuring that the inspections are guided by clear and comprehensive principles.

Covered Employers

The reform to Article 86 of the Federal Labor Law, by its nature as an amendment to a foundational labor statute, applies broadly to all employers and workplaces operating within the national territory of Mexico. Article 1 of the LFT explicitly states that the law is of general observance throughout the Republic and governs labor relations encompassed by Article 123, Apartado A, of the Constitution. This means that virtually all private sector employers, regardless of their size, industry, or number of employees, are subject to the provisions of the LFT, including the newly strengthened equal pay inspection requirements. The intent is to ensure universal application of the equal pay principle, preventing any employer from circumventing their obligations based on specific characteristics of their business, thereby creating a level playing field across the entire economy.

The General Regulations for Labor Inspection and Application of Sanctions (Reglamento General de Inspección del Trabajo y Aplicación de Sanciones - RGITAS) further clarifies the scope of application for labor inspections. Article 1 of the RGITAS states that the regulation governs throughout the national territory and aims to regulate the LFT concerning the procedure for promoting and monitoring compliance with labor legislation and the application of sanctions for violations in workplaces. Article 2 of the RGITAS defines a “Centro de Trabajo” (workplace) as any place, whatever its denomination, where production activities, distribution of goods, or provision of services are carried out, or where people subject to an employment relationship work. This expansive definition ensures that the inspection mandate covers a wide array of entities, from large corporations with thousands of employees to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with just a few, and across all economic sectors including manufacturing, services, agriculture, and commerce.

While the reform itself does not specify particular size thresholds for coverage or exemptions, the universal applicability of the LFT and the RGITAS implies that all employers are expected to comply. Any potential exemptions or specific considerations for certain types of employers would typically be detailed either within the LFT itself, its regulations, or subsequent implementing guidelines issued by the STPS. However, the overarching goal of eradicating the gender pay gap suggests a comprehensive approach, making it unlikely for significant exemptions to undermine the reform's effectiveness. The emphasis is on ensuring that the principle of equal pay for work of equal value is upheld consistently across the entire Mexican labor landscape, fostering a level playing field for all workers and preventing any sector or company size from becoming a loophole for discriminatory practices.

Employee Rights

The reform to Article 86 of the Federal Labor Law significantly bolsters employee rights by providing a concrete mechanism for enforcing the long-standing principle of equal pay. Workers in Mexico now have a more robust assurance that the government, through the Secretaría del Trabajo y Previsión Social (STPS) and state labor authorities, will actively intervene to verify and ensure that they receive equal remuneration for work of equal value, regardless of gender. This strengthens the fundamental right to non-discrimination in employment, particularly concerning wages, which is enshrined in Article 2 of the LFT, prohibiting discrimination based on gender, age, disability, social condition, health conditions, religion, opinions, sexual preferences, or civil status. The reform empowers employees by shifting the enforcement burden, in part, to the state, making the right to equal pay more tangible and less reliant solely on individual legal action.

Employees have the right to work in an environment free from wage discrimination and to expect that their compensation is determined by the value of their work, not by their gender. While the reform primarily focuses on the inspection mandate of the authorities, it implicitly empowers workers by providing a clear avenue for governmental oversight. If workers suspect pay discrimination, they can now rely on the fact that labor authorities are legally obligated to conduct inspections to verify compliance. This provides a crucial layer of protection and a pathway for redress, even if the direct complaint mechanism is channeled through the enforcement bodies rather than a direct individual right to demand an audit. The existence of these inspections serves as a strong deterrent against discriminatory practices and encourages employers to proactively review and adjust their pay structures to avoid potential governmental scrutiny and sanctions.

Furthermore, the broader legal framework, including the Ley General para la Igualdad entre Mujeres y Hombres and the Ley General de Acceso de las Mujeres a una Vida Libre de Violencia, which were also part of the same reform decree, reinforces the rights of women to a life free from economic violence and discrimination. These laws provide a comprehensive shield against various forms of discrimination, including those related to remuneration. While the LFT reform doesn't detail specific individual complaint procedures for pay equity inspections, the General Regulations for Labor Inspection and Application of Sanctions (RGITAS) outlines the general process for filing complaints and how labor authorities investigate alleged violations of labor legislation. This means employees can report suspected pay disparities to the STPS or relevant state labor secretariat, triggering the inspection process and leveraging the state's enforcement powers to uphold their right to equal pay, with protections against retaliation for making such complaints.

Pay Transparency Requirements

The reform to Article 86 of the Federal Labor Law, while primarily focused on mandating inspections for equal pay, indirectly promotes a greater degree of pay transparency within Mexican workplaces. By obligating the Secretaría del Trabajo y Previsión Social (STPS) and state labor authorities to verify compliance with equal remuneration for work of equal value, the reform necessitates that employers have clear, justifiable, and non-discriminatory pay structures. This inherent requirement for justification during inspections will push companies towards more transparent internal pay policies, even if explicit public disclosure mandates are not directly stipulated within this specific amendment. The scrutiny brought by inspections will naturally encourage employers to document their pay scales and criteria more thoroughly, making internal pay decisions more visible and defensible.

While the approved reform to Article 86 itself does not explicitly introduce new requirements for job posting salary ranges or the public publication of pay scales, the broader legislative context in Mexico indicates a growing trend towards greater transparency. Initiatives and discussions surrounding the gender pay gap have often included proposals for such transparency measures, reflecting a global movement towards greater openness in compensation. For instance, some legislative proposals have aimed to establish salary transparency through the publication of salary tables with a gender perspective, or by requiring employers to provide salary ranges in job advertisements. Although it is crucial to distinguish between proposed and adopted legislation, the intensified focus on pay equity through mandatory inspections will likely serve as a catalyst for companies to adopt more transparent internal practices to avoid potential sanctions and demonstrate compliance, anticipating future legislative developments.

The emphasis on verifying “trabajo de igual valor” (work of equal value) during inspections implies that employers must be able to articulate and demonstrate the objective criteria used to determine remuneration, such as skills, effort, responsibility, and working conditions. This necessitates a degree of internal transparency regarding job evaluation methodologies and pay structures. Employers will need to clearly define job roles, assess their value using objective metrics, and ensure that pay corresponds to this value, irrespective of the incumbent's gender. While employers are not explicitly required to publish this information externally under the Article 86 reform, the need to present it to labor inspectors will inevitably lead to more formalized and transparent internal systems. This shift, driven by the inspection mandate, is a significant step towards fostering a culture of pay equity where remuneration decisions are clear, objective, and free from gender bias, ultimately contributing to the reduction of the gender pay gap by making discriminatory practices harder to conceal.

Reporting & Audit Obligations

The reform to Article 86 of the Federal Labor Law establishes a direct and unequivocal obligation for labor authorities to conduct inspections, thereby creating a de facto audit requirement for employers regarding pay equity. The Secretaría del Trabajo y Previsión Social (STPS) at the federal level, along with its homologous labor authorities in the states, are now mandated to “practicarán visitas de inspección en los centros de trabajo para verificar el cumplimiento del principio de igualdad salarial por trabajo de igual valor.” This means that employers must be prepared for potential inspections focused specifically on their remuneration practices, demonstrating that they adhere to the principle of equal pay for work of equal value. While there is no explicit mandate for employers to submit regular reports, the continuous threat of inspection necessitates ongoing internal monitoring and readiness.

The frequency and content requirements for these inspections are governed by the General Regulations for Labor Inspection and Application of Sanctions (RGITAS). The RGITAS outlines various types of inspections, including ordinary visits (part of a planned program) and extraordinary visits (triggered by complaints, accidents, or specific directives), and details the procedures inspectors must follow. During these inspections, employers will be required to provide extensive documentation and information related to their pay structures, job classifications, wage scales, and any other relevant records that demonstrate compliance with equal pay principles. This could include, but is not limited to, payroll records for all employees, detailed job descriptions, performance evaluation criteria and results, internal policies on compensation and benefits, collective bargaining agreements, and any internal job evaluation studies. The burden of proof will largely rest on the employer to show that any pay differentials are based on objective, non-discriminatory factors, rather than gender, requiring robust record-keeping and analytical capabilities.

While the reform does not explicitly mandate employers to conduct self-audits or submit regular pay equity reports to the government, the threat of mandatory inspections creates a strong incentive for internal review. Companies will likely need to develop robust internal methodologies for job evaluation and pay analysis to ensure they are in compliance before an inspection occurs. This might involve conducting regular internal pay equity audits, analyzing salary data by gender for comparable roles, and identifying and rectifying any unjustified disparities. The RGITAS also allows for authorities to request information through questionnaires or similar means, which can be verified through subsequent inspections. This implies a continuous obligation for employers to maintain transparent and justifiable pay systems. The ultimate deadline for compliance is ongoing, as the principle of equal pay is a continuous obligation, and inspections can occur at any time to verify adherence to the law. Failure to meet these obligations during an inspection can lead to significant penalties, as detailed in the enforcement section, making proactive compliance essential.

Governance & Enforcement Bodies

The primary governance and enforcement bodies responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Federal Labor Law Article 86 Reform are the Secretaría del Trabajo y Previsión Social (STPS) at the federal level and the labor authorities of the individual states (entidades federativas). The reform explicitly grants these entities the authority and obligation to conduct inspections in workplaces to verify compliance with the principle of equal pay for work of equal value. The STPS, as the federal executive branch agency responsible for labor policy, sets national guidelines, develops inspection protocols, and coordinates efforts across the country. Its federal inspection unit, the Dirección General de Inspección Federal del Trabajo, plays a crucial role in ensuring consistent application of the law, while state labor authorities, typically state Secretariats of Labor, implement these policies within their respective jurisdictions, conducting the majority of on-site inspections.

The General Regulations for Labor Inspection and Application of Sanctions (RGITAS) provides the detailed procedural framework for how these bodies exercise their inspection and enforcement powers. The RGITAS defines “Autoridad del Trabajo” (Labor Authority) as federal, state, or Mexico City dependencies or administrative units with the power to monitor labor legislation compliance and apply sanctions. These authorities are empowered to plan and execute inspection programs, investigate complaints, and impose sanctions for violations. Article 3 of the RGITAS also allows for the STPS and state governments to enter into agreements to coordinate, assist, and unify criteria, programs, systems, and procedures for inspection and application of sanctions, ensuring a consistent approach across the nation and preventing fragmented enforcement. This coordination is vital for effective implementation of a federal law across diverse state contexts.

The complaint filing process typically involves workers or their representatives submitting a complaint to the relevant labor authority (STPS or state labor secretariat). While the specific details of a pay equity complaint mechanism are not exhaustively detailed in the Article 86 reform itself, the general provisions of the RGITAS for initiating administrative procedures for violations of labor legislation would apply. This includes the right for workers to report alleged non-compliance, which can trigger an extraordinary inspection. The labor authorities are then responsible for investigating these complaints, conducting inspections, gathering evidence, and, if violations are found, initiating sanctioning procedures against the non-compliant employer. The STPS also provides various channels for complaints, including online portals, phone lines, and in-person visits to its offices, ensuring accessibility for all workers seeking to uphold their rights.

Monitoring & Evaluation

Monitoring and evaluation of compliance with the equal pay provisions, as mandated by the reform to Article 86 of the Federal Labor Law, are primarily carried out through a robust system of labor inspections. The Secretaría del Trabajo y Previsión Social (STPS) and state labor authorities are tasked with conducting these inspections, which serve as the principal mechanism for verifying adherence to the principle of equal remuneration for work of equal value. The General Regulations for Labor Inspection and Application of Sanctions (RGITAS) details the procedures for these inspections, ensuring a standardized and effective approach to monitoring pay equity across workplaces. This systematic approach aims to move beyond reactive responses to complaints, establishing a proactive oversight mechanism.

Inspection procedures, as outlined in the RGITAS, involve both ordinary and extraordinary visits to workplaces. Ordinary inspections are typically part of planned annual or biannual programs, targeting specific sectors or types of employers based on risk assessments or statistical data related to pay gaps. Extraordinary inspections can be triggered by specific complaints from workers or unions, reports of non-compliance, or specific directives from higher authorities. During an inspection, labor inspectors are authorized to request and review various documents, including payroll records, detailed job descriptions, internal pay scales, collective bargaining agreements, and any other information relevant to assessing pay practices. Employers are obligated to provide access to the workplace and all requested documentation, and inspectors are empowered to interview employees and management to gather comprehensive information. The inspectors evaluate whether pay differentials are based on objective factors such as skills, effort, responsibility, and working conditions, rather than discriminatory criteria like gender. The RGITAS also specifies that inspectors must act with impartiality, maintain confidentiality, and document their findings meticulously in official acts (actas de inspección).

Complaints regarding alleged pay discrimination are investigated by the labor authorities following the procedures established in the RGITAS. Upon receiving a complaint, the authority can initiate an extraordinary inspection or incorporate the issue into a scheduled ordinary inspection. The investigation involves gathering evidence, interviewing workers and management, analyzing relevant documentation, and potentially requesting expert opinions on job evaluation. The frequency of inspections can vary, but the reform implies a proactive and ongoing commitment to monitoring, with the STPS expected to develop specific programs for pay equity inspections. Evaluation criteria for compliance are centered on the legal definition of equal pay for work of equal value, ensuring that remuneration is free from gender-based discrimination and that any differences are objectively justifiable. The effectiveness of these monitoring efforts is crucial for the successful implementation of the reform and for achieving the broader goal of eradicating the gender pay gap in Mexico, with regular reports on inspection outcomes and identified violations expected to inform future policy adjustments.

Enforcement & Penalties

The reform to Article 86 of the Federal Labor Law, by establishing mandatory inspections for equal pay, significantly strengthens the enforcement framework and introduces the potential for penalties against non-compliant employers. While the specific fine amounts for violations of the newly added inspection mandate are not directly detailed within the Article 86 amendment itself, they fall under the general sanctioning regime of the Federal Labor Law (LFT) and the General Regulations for Labor Inspection and Application of Sanctions (RGITAS). The LFT, in its Title Sixteen, specifically Articles 992 through 1004, outlines various penalties for violations of its provisions, which can range from monetary fines to other administrative measures, depending on the severity, recurrence of the infraction, and the number of affected workers. This framework provides a clear deterrent against non-compliance with pay equity principles.

The RGITAS provides the procedural framework for the application of sanctions. It details how administrative sanctioning procedures are initiated, substantiated, and resolved when violations of labor legislation are detected during inspections. If an inspection reveals that an employer is not complying with the principle of equal pay for work of equal value, the labor authority will initiate a formal administrative procedure. This process typically involves notifying the employer of the alleged violations, allowing them an opportunity to present their defense and evidence within a specified timeframe, and then issuing a resolution that may include imposing fines. The fines are generally calculated based on factors such as the number of affected workers, the duration of the non-compliance, the employer's economic capacity, and the gravity of the infraction, with ranges specified in the LFT, often expressed in Units of Measurement and Update (Unidad de Medida y Actualización - UMA). For example, general violations of labor standards can incur fines ranging from 50 to 5000 UMA, with specific provisions for discrimination potentially leading to higher penalties or cumulative fines per affected employee.

Penalties can escalate for repeat offenders or for particularly egregious cases of discrimination. Beyond monetary fines, labor authorities can also issue orders for corrective actions, requiring employers to adjust pay structures, provide back pay to affected employees, and implement non-discriminatory policies. While criminal liability is typically reserved for more severe offenses like forced labor or human trafficking, persistent and intentional wage discrimination could potentially lead to more severe legal consequences under broader anti-discrimination laws, particularly if it is part of a pattern of systemic human rights violations. Employers have the right to appeal the resolutions imposing sanctions through administrative review processes within the STPS or state labor secretariats, and subsequently through judicial channels (e.g., before federal administrative courts), as outlined in the RGITAS and applicable administrative laws. The aim of these enforcement mechanisms is not merely punitive but also corrective, compelling employers to rectify discriminatory pay practices and ensure future compliance with the principle of equal remuneration, thereby contributing to the overall reduction of the gender pay gap and fostering a fairer labor market.

Relationship to Other Laws

The reform to Article 86 of the Federal Labor Law (LFT) is intricately linked with and complements several other key pieces of Mexican legislation, forming a comprehensive legal framework for gender equality and non-discrimination in the workplace. Most notably, the decree that enacted this LFT reform, published on December 16, 2024, also simultaneously reformed and added provisions to the Ley General para la Igualdad entre Mujeres y Hombres (General Law for Equality between Women and Men), the Ley General de Acceso de las Mujeres a una Vida Libre de Violencia (General Law on Women's Access to a Life Free of Violence), and the Código Nacional de Procedimientos Civiles y Familiares (National Code of Civil and Family Procedures). This coordinated legislative effort underscores a holistic approach by the Mexican State to address the gender pay gap and broader issues of gender inequality, ensuring consistency and mutual reinforcement across different legal domains.

The Ley General para la Igualdad entre Mujeres y Hombres provides the overarching framework for achieving substantive equality in all spheres, including the labor market. The reforms to this law, alongside the LFT amendment, define the gender pay gap and establish objectives for national policy to strengthen women's access to employment and the effective application of equal treatment and non-discrimination in working conditions. This law sets the guiding principles that the LFT's specific inspection requirements are designed to enforce, ensuring that the interpretation and application of Article 86 are always aligned with the broader goal of gender equality. Similarly, the Ley General de Acceso de las Mujeres a una Vida Libre de Violencia addresses economic violence as a form of gender-based violence, and the LFT reform directly contributes to its prevention and eradication by tackling wage discrimination, which is often a key component of economic disempowerment for women.

Furthermore, the practical implementation of the LFT Article 86 reform is directly governed by the Reglamento General de Inspección del Trabajo y Aplicación de Sanciones (RGITAS). This regulation, which predates the specific Article 86 reform but has been updated to reflect new mandates, details the procedures for labor inspections, the obligations of inspectors, and the process for applying sanctions for violations of labor legislation. The RGITAS provides the operational guidelines for how the STPS and state labor authorities will conduct the mandated equal pay inspections, ensuring consistency, due process, and legal certainty for both employers and employees. In cases of conflict or ambiguity, the LFT generally takes precedence in labor matters, while the Ley General para la Igualdad provides the interpretative framework for gender equality, ensuring that all laws are applied with a gender perspective to achieve substantive equality, consistent with Article 1 of the Mexican Constitution which mandates human rights protection.

International Context

The reform to Article 86 of Mexico's Federal Labor Law is deeply rooted in and significantly reinforces the country's adherence to international labor standards and human rights conventions. Mexico has a long-standing commitment to international instruments promoting equal pay and non-discrimination. Notably, Mexico ratified the International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention No. 100 on Equal Remuneration, 1951, on August 23, 1952, and Convention No. 111 on Discrimination (Employment and Occupation), 1958, on September 11, 1961. These conventions establish the fundamental principles of equal pay for work of equal value and the elimination of discrimination in employment, which the Article 86 reform now seeks to enforce more rigorously through mandatory inspections, thereby fulfilling its international obligations more effectively.

ILO Convention 100 specifically defines “remuneration” and “equal remuneration for male and female workers for work of equal value,” obliging member states to promote and ensure the application of this principle through national legislation, collective agreements, or other appropriate means. The LFT reform directly implements this obligation by providing a concrete enforcement mechanism, moving beyond mere legislative declaration to active governmental oversight. Similarly, ILO Convention 111 calls for national policies to promote equality of opportunity and treatment in employment and occupation, with a view to eliminating any discrimination. The Mexican reform, by targeting the gender pay gap through inspections, directly contributes to fulfilling the spirit and letter of these core ILO conventions, demonstrating Mexico's commitment to global labor justice and human rights, and positioning it as a country actively working towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 5 (Gender Equality) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth).

Beyond the ILO, Mexico is also a signatory to other international human rights instruments that advocate for gender equality, such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). CEDAW mandates states to take all appropriate measures to eliminate discrimination against women in the field of employment, including the right to equal remuneration and the right to social security. The Article 86 reform aligns with these broader international trends towards strengthening legal frameworks for pay equity, seen in various jurisdictions globally, including the European Union's directives on pay transparency and similar legislation in countries like Canada and Australia. By enhancing its domestic enforcement capabilities, Mexico positions itself as a leader in the region in actively combating gender-based wage discrimination and promoting a more inclusive and equitable labor market in line with international best practices, contributing to a global movement for economic justice and gender equality.
