Respondents' views on the likelihood of closing the gender pay gap Malaysia 2019-2020
According to a survey conducted by Ipsos on predictions for global issues in 2020, 68 percent of Malaysians believed it was likely that women would be paid the same amount as men for the same work in that year. Malaysia was one of the most optimistic out of all the countries surveyed about closing the gender pay gap in 2020. However, in another survey conducted in 2019, more than half of respondents felt that the gender equality movement had gone too far. Should the gender pay gap be closed in Malaysia, it would be despite of people's support and attitudes towards the push for gender equality.
