In 2021, female elementary and middle school teachers earned on average 1,138 U.S. dollars per week, while their male counterparts earned 1,301 U.S. dollars. Male office supervisors made an average of 1,184 U.S. dollars per week, while female supervisors earned an average of 913 U.S. dollars.

The difference between the earnings of women and men shrank slightly over the past years. Considering the controlled gender pay gap, which measures the median salary for men and women with the same job and qualifications, women earned one U.S. cent less. By comparison, the uncontrolled gender pay gap measures the median salary for all men and all women across all sectors and industries and regardless of location and qualification. In 2025, the uncontrolled gender pay gap in the world stood at 0.83, meaning that women earned 0.83 dollars for every dollar earned by men.

In 2024, Italian women earned annually about ***** euros less than men. However, the gender pay gap decreased in the last years. In 2016, it amounted to **** percent in favor of men, whereas the difference in 2022 was equal to **** percent. For 2024, it reduced to *** percent. According to JobPricing, women's annual gross salary amounted to around ****** euros in 2024. On the other hand, men had an average annual salary of approximately ****** euros. Regional differences In Italy, significant wage differences can also be observed among regions. As of 2024, regions in northern Italy registered higher average annual salaries compared to the southern regions. Lombardy had the highest average wages in the country, ****** euros per year. On the other hand, people living in Basilicata, in the south, had the lowest wages in the country, ****** euros annually. Differences in the sectors Different sectors registered various levels of pay gaps. For instance, in the banking and financial services, the difference in between the salaries of men and women favored men by ***** euros in 2020. Nonetheless, in very few sectors, the gap favors women. In the construction industry, women earned, on average, around ***** euros more than men. In the field of metallurgy and steel, women and men were equally paid.

Average and median gender pay ratio in annual employment income and in annual wages, salaries and commissions. Data are available by National Occupational Classification (NOC) and age group.

In 2024, the difference between average hourly earnings for men and women in the United Kingdom for all workers was 13.1 percent, compared with seven percent for full-time workers, and -3 percent for part-time workers. During the provided time period, the gender pay gap was at its highest in 1997, when it was 27.5 percent for all workers. Compared with 1997, the gender pay gap has fallen by 13.2 percent for all workers, and 9.7 percent for full-time workers. Gender pay gap higher in older age groups Although the gender pay gap among younger age groups was relatively small in 2024, the double-digit pay gap evident in older age groups served to keep the overall gap high. The gender pay gap for workers aged between 18 and 21 for example was -0.5 percent, compared with 12.1percent for people in their 50s. Additionally, the gender pay gap for people aged over 60 has changed little since 1997, falling by just 1.2 percent between 1997 and 2023, compared with a 14.9 percent reduction among workers in their 40s. Positions of power As of 2024, women are unfortunately still relatively underrepresented in leadership positions at Britain’s top businesses. Among FTSE 100 companies, for example, just 9.4 percent of CEOs were female, falling to just 6.1 percent for FTSE 250 companies. Representation was better when it came to FTSE 100 boardrooms, with 44.7 percent of positions at this level being filled by women, compared with 42.6 percent at FTSE 250 companies. In the corridors of political power, the proportion of female MPs was estimated to have reached its highest ever level after the 2024 election at 41 percent, compared with just three percent in 1979.

The paper assesses gender differences in pre-labor market specialization among the college-educated and highlights how those differences have evolved over time. Women choose majors with lower potential earnings (based on male wages associated with those majors) and subsequently sort into occupations with lower potential earnings given their major choice. These differences have narrowed over time, but recent cohorts of women still choose majors and occupations with lower potential earnings. Differences in undergraduate major choice explain a substantive portion of gender wage gaps for the college-educated above and beyond simply controlling for occupation. Collectively, our results highlight the importance of understanding gender differences in the mapping between college major and occupational sorting when studying the evolution of gender differences in labor market outcomes over time.

In 2024, women's gross hourly earnings averaged 4.1 euros less than men's. This is also known as the gender pay gap. The pay gap is influenced by various factors. For example, women and men are often employed in different (gender-specific) occupations and industries, which differ in salary and wage levels. This factor can explain a difference of 0.87 euros in hourly earnings. However, after taking into account all structural differences, an unexplained difference of 1.52 euros remains.

In 2025, Barbados was the country with the highest gender pay gap index in Latin America and the Caribbean, with a score of 0.87. Guatemala, on the other hand, had the worst score in the region, at 0.46 points. This shows that, on average, women's income in Guatemala represents only 46 percent of the income received by men. Is the gender pay gap likely to be bridged? In a 2021 survey, 55 percent of respondents in Peru thought it was likely that women will be paid as much as men for the same work. This was one of the most optimistic perspectives when compared to the other Latin American nations surveyed. For instance, in Brazil, only one third of the adults interviewed said that this would be possible in the near future. Based on people's views on salary equality, Mexico was found to be one of the Latin American countries with the best wage equality perception index, which shows that the population's perceptions do not always match reality. In Mexico, the gender pay gap based on estimated income stood at 0.52. The software pay gap in Mexico The digital era does not necessarily favor income equality between genders. Recent data shows that men working in the Mexican software industry receive significantly higher monthly salaries than women or non-binary persons. Wage differences based on gender were specially noticeable in the field of software architecture, where a woman's salary represented, on average, only 60 percent of what a man would earn for performing the same tasks in a comparable position.

This statistic depicts the gender pay gap in Latin America and the Caribbean as of 2016, broken down by indicator. According to standard estimations, the gender pay gap stood at 6.5 percent. When other variables affecting salaries were analyzed, the gender pay gap amounted to 20.6 percent (factor weighted). The source estimated that the real gender pay gap in Latin America and the Caribbean had been underestimated by 14.1 percentage points.

In Italy, the percentage of the gender salary gap was the lowest for middle managers, while it was the largest for blue-collar workers. According to data provided by JobPricing, in 2024, male middle managers earned on average *** percent more than women, while for blue-collar workers, salaries were almost *** percent higher for men than for women.

In 2022, on average, women were offered *** percent less salary compared to men when they applied for the same job title at the same company in the technology industry.

According to a survey carried out in 2022 in Mexico, the majority of the population considers that men receive a higher wage compared to women. **** percent of male population believe their gender has a higher wage and ** percent of women claimed so.

In 2024, the average monthly earnings for male managers in South Korea were approximately 10.89 million South Korean won, while female managers earned around 9.24 million won. Overall, there was a pronounced gender gap in monthly salaries for South Korean employees across all occupation types. The gender pay gap in South Korea Despite a notable increase in women's participation in the labor market, progress in narrowing the gender pay gap has been slow. In 2022, South Korea had the widest gender pay gap among countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), with women earning only about 69 percent of men's wages. This pay gap impacts women across various employment types and all age groups, with those in their 50s being the most affected. Gender inequality and public perception Gender inequality has remained a persistent issue in South Korean society, despite governmental efforts to tackle it. A recent survey revealed that discrimination against women is most widely perceived in the workplace. Interestingly, there were significant differences in how men and women viewed gender inequality in South Korea. Nearly 75 percent of women believed that South Korean society treats women unfairly, while less than 20 percent of men shared this perspective. Conversely, approximately 52 percent of men felt that men were treated unfairly.

A 2022 survey analyzed public perceptions of pay discrepancies between male and female athletes in the United States. While survey respondents believed that female basketball players earned a bit more than ******* of what their male counterparts were earning, in reality the difference was much larger, with women typically earning only *** percent of men's salaries.

The difference between male and female hourly earnings as a share of male earnings in the European Union was 12 percent in 2023, compared with 12.9 percent in 2020. The gender pay gap has reduced significantly in the European Union since the early 2010s, when it peaked at 16.4 percent in 2012.

In 2023, the average gross annual salary in Italy amounted to ****** euros. Among different sectors, employees working in financial and banking services earned the largest wages. According to data provided by JobPricing, people in this industry were paid on average ****** euros a year. On the other hand, the lowest salaries in Italy were those of farmers and fishermen. Salaries in Lombardy The northern region of Lombardy registered the highest gross salaries in the country. In 2023, it reached ****** euros. Furthermore, in 2022, people earned on average ****** euros per year in Lombardy's major center, Milan. The city is known to be the main financial center of Italy. On the other hand, southern regions recorded the lowest wages in Italy. Banking and financial services In Italy, the highest wages were recorded in the financial and banking sector. However, a substantial gap existed between the salaries of women and men. Indeed, in 2020, men working in this sector earned on average almost ** percent more than women. As a result, women working in this sector faced one of the strongest gender pay gaps in Italy.

In 2022, the gender pay gap in France stood at approximately ***percent, with men earning more than women on average. Historically, men in France have consistently earned higher salaries, but the gap has narrowed considerably over time. In 1958, men earned about ***percent more than women. By 1978, this difference had decreased to ***percent, and by 1998, it had dropped further to ***percent.
