4. Gender Pay Gap

EU's gender gap still wide open

European women do better in school than men,

but get lower pay and fewer top jobs.

Eighty per cent of women complete secondary

education compared to 75% of men, and more

than half of university students are women.

Women earn 15% less and hold only a third

of managerial jobs.

Paradox

"Women achieve an overall better educationallevel than men, but paradoxically, this is notreflected on entry to the labour market."

"This is partly due to the fact that women still undertake a high proportion of domestic tasks, and more women work part-time than men as well."

6.1 Conciliation private/professional life: domestic and family work

Source: Fourth EWCS, 2005. For the columns "gender gap", a positive value indicates that more time is spent on average by women than by men (for the related activity), while the opposite is true for a negative value. It has to be noted that the sample used only includes people who were in paid employment in the reference week of the survey. Due to this limitation, caution should be exercised in interpreting the differences between women and men's average time spent for both paid employment and unpaid domestic and family work. For instance, as regards paid employment, gender differences mainly reflect different patterns in the gender distribution of part-time among EU Member States and not in the gender distribution of participation in employment in general. If all working age persons were included (and not only those in paid employment) one would expect that both differences in time-use between women and men would be more pronounced.
