More often than not gender equality policies are good on paper but fall foul of politicized implementation processes. The reasons behind this are becoming a key area of investigation for feminist scholarship on the implementation of gender policies. This article analyzes the barriers to implementing gender equality policies in a corporatist regime. Focusing on the 2007 nurses’ industrial action in Finland, the article considers the case of “Nancy the Nurse,” which aimed at negotiating higher wages for nurses. Our findings suggest that the corporatist regime effectively prevented the implementation of gender equality policy, thus upholding the status quo and maintaining current wage relativities.

实施同酬政策：性别平等与社团主义之间的冲突

通常情况下，性别平等政策在纸面上是好的，但与政治化的实施过程相悖。这背后的原因正在成为女权主义学术研究关于性别政策实施的一个关键领域。本文分析了在社团主义政权中实施性别平等政策的障碍。文章着眼于2007年芬兰护士的工业行动，考虑了“护士南希”的案例，该案例旨在谈判提高护士的工资。我们的研究结果表明，社团主义政权有效地阻止了性别平等政策的实施，从而维持现状并维持当前的工资相对性。
