Benjamin Décosterd is a columnist and author working mainly in theatre. He is convinced that transparent pay is the key to greater equality, as he explains: “In the theatre world, there’s a collective employment contract that sets the minimum wage for actors.” When it comes to parental leave, he would support the idea that “both parents should be required to take the same amount of leave for two or three generations. If leave can be divided flexibly, it risks perpetuating the habit that it’s the woman who stays at home for longer.”
