As of Monday, 10 November, women in France are working for free through the end of the year, according to an annual report that uses the exact day and time that men start being paid more than women, based on salary statistics, which show the gender pay gap is narrowing slightly, but not quickly.

As of Monday at precisely 11:31 am, women in France began working “for free”, and will continue to do so until the end of the year, according to the feminist newsletter Les Glorieuses, which determines this date and time using data on pay disparities between men and women.
