Malta has been among the countries in the European Union with the lowest gender pay gaps. The gender pay gap has - however - increased steadily within past years: from 5.2 per cent in 2006 to 12.2 per cent in 2017.  
  
Despite the low rates of the gender pay gap, Malta still faces problems in achieving full gender equality due to barriers for women returning into the labour market after parental leaves and family-related breaks.

===Equal Pay Day 2015===
 
The idea behing Equal Pay Day on January 20, 2015, was to focus and mobilise school girls rather than focussing on the wage gap as such. The reasoning behind was that the wage gap is relatively small in comparison to other countries. Hence, the problems for women in Malta do not so much fall within the realm of wages, but more so on labour market participation, career choices or family-related breaks and re-integration into the labour market. In this regards, this year's event on the EPD should attract school girls and inform on career choices. As this event has been sucessfully performed, the format will be used for the coming events in 2016.
