Swedish women should have over ten percent higher wages than men, according to the ILO.
Different pay for equal work is a motto that applies in many countries, if you believe the ILO The latest report. It states that men have higher salaries than women in all the 38 countries examined.
– The results could reflect different factors in different countries, but discrimination is certainly a part of this, says ILO Deputy Director-General Sandra Polaski, according to Reuters.
In the US, the wage gap between women and men great, but these can be explained by measurable factors such as level of education, work experience and hours worked. In Europe, not the explanatory model.
– Even when one takes into account these factors, it remains a significant share of the pay gap unexplained in Europe, and the higher up the pay ladder we go, the greater the difference in pay, says Rosalia Vazquez -Álvarez, payroll expert at the ILO, in a filmed comment on the organization’s website.
In the 26 European countries studied in the report, should women according to measurable performance factors on average have 0.9 percent higher wages than men, but serves in reality, 18.9 percent less.
In Sweden, Denmark, Brazil, Russia and Lithuania would pay the difference to women’s advantage to be in excess of ten percent, while women in Slovenia should get 18.5 percent more than the men. China becomes almost an exception in this context – the world’s most populous country is genders almost equally in education, experience and productivity, and the ILO estimates that a fair wage gap should amount to 0.2 percent. In reality serves kinesiskor nearly 23 percent less.
The ILO recommends countries in the report to combat norms around women’s roles and expectations in society, to address gender discriminatory wage structures and to propagate an equitable distribution of housework. Although policies around parental leave should be improved.
