And unfortunately, not only that, there are some findings that when they do attempt to negotiate, they are perceived badly quicker than men.

> This law won't change anything for the wage gap
On the contrary, a law like this is clearly a benefit for all people who tend to negotiate less - that reduces the information asymmetry and the role of "haggling"; so I would definitely expect this to reduce the wage gap between the people who currently get market-rate salary because they do hard negotiation and those who currently do not.
The pay gap exists because women tends to negociate less. And in male-dominated fields (fields that on average, pay more), they tend to be less outspoken, thus less visible, and as every dev here know, at least 50% of all promotions are based on visibility/performative work and not real skills.
This law won't change anything for the wage gap (which is smaller and smaller are companies tends to promote less internally and hire external management).
Still a fine idea, I'm waiting fir the execution.
