In the sectors of health and social services, and professional, scientific and technical activities, male employees earned over 20 percent more per hour than their female counterparts. Some of the disparities in pay can be attributed to the inability of women to work and receive compensation for overtime shifts, night shifts, holiday shifts, seniority, and hazard bonus.Progress in a changing societyEconomically and culturally, society is becoming increasingly fair for younger generations. Even though gender pay gaps have not been eliminated, the pay gap for workers aged 34 years and under is remarkably lower than the gap for workers over the age of 44 and substantially far from those above the age of 64.

Moreover, SARS-CoV-2 slowed progress in the medium term. The female workforce was particularly vulnerable to the pandemic’s economic and social ramifications, such as heightened job insecurity and the need for unpaid care work.
