Women pursue family achievements at an increasingly older age   In Portugal, the mean age of women on their first marriage has increased constantly during the last decade. As of 2023, women were 34.3 years old at the time they got married for the first time, which is an increase of half-year compared to 2022. The mean age with which women get married is higher than the average age at which they give birth to their first child. Even though this value has also increased during the past decade, it has been decreasing since 2021, and, by 2023, it was 30.2 years of age. Payment inequality to the disadvantage of women   Women working in Portugal face a gender pay gap (GPG) which puts them at a disadvantage when compared to men. From 2010 to 2021, the gender pay gap decreased by five percent in the country, which is a step forward in terms of the fight against gender inequality. Nevertheless, the GPG was still more than 13 percent in 2022, which means that Portuguese women received 13 percent lower salaries than their male counterparts. When it comes to the average monthly earnings by gender, the tendency of higher salaries for men is widespread throughout Europe. On average, in 2022, men in Portugal received around 2,090 U.S. dollars per month, while women were paid 1,900 U.S. dollars monthly.
