Women earned
on average 16% less than men in the EU In 2014, the gender pay gap stood at
16.1% in the European Union (EU).
In other
words, women earned on average 84 cents for every euro a man makes per hour.
Across Member States, the #gender_pay_gap in 2014 ranged from less than 5% in
Slovenia and Malta to more than 20% in Estonia, Austria, the Czech Republic,
Germany and Slovakia.
It should be
noted that part of the difference in average gross hourly earnings can be
explained by individual characteristics (e.g. experience and education) and by
sectoral and occupational gender segregations (e.g., there are more men than
women in certain occupations with, on the average, higher earnings compared to
other occupations).
