Answer 1

Iceland

Explanation:

In Iceland, it is now illegal for companies to have a disparity in pay based on gender for people working the same job. Employers will have to prove that they are paying men and women equally and if they cannot, they'll be fined approximately $500 each day they're out of compliance.
