Estonia had the highest gender pay gap at 21.3 per cent, followed by Austria (18.4 per cent), Switzerland and Czechia (both 17.9 per cent).

Luxembourg (-0.7 per cent) was the only country with a negative figure, meaning women earned slightly more than men.

    Pure sexism, institutionalized and probably very personal as well. This is making me super angry, I think it’s truly a shame for the nation. The historical data makes me even angrier, seeing how we improved substantially only to still end up with such a high pay gap.

      You should be super angry at being tricked by bad data and reported in such a way as to make you unreasonably angry for reasons that are based on feelings instead of facts:

      Unadjusted gender pay gap is a significant indicator, showing the difference between the average gross hourly earnings of men and women, expressed as a percentage of the average gross hourly earnings of men.

      It does not take into account education, age, hours worked or type of job.

      The data is bad because a man working 40 hours for minimum wage ($7.25) makes more than a woman working 20 hrs at $12.50 would be included in this report.

      Don’t fall for ragebait bullshit.
