In the workplace, the equality between men and women still has not been According to data collected by the European Commission , the pay gap by gender is marked. Compared to men women work for free 59 days in a year at the same jobs.
Data from Brussels reveals that the gender pay gap and increased from 16.4% in 2012 to 17.3 % in 2012.
In this context Italian data are better than average , but showed a decrease compared to previous years . In our country , in fact, women’s wages were 6.7% lower compared to those of men.while in 2008 the pay gap stood at 4.9% .
As a result, Italy is one of the countries that have shown a reduction in the disparity in pay, but not for the right reasons. The European Commission has in fact made it clear that Europe has a greater presence of women in the labor market, so the reduction of the pay gap is due in large part to a decline in men’s wages as a result of the economic crisis .
As it has been for centuries,the”good ol’boy network”is alive and dominating the world’s financial agenda.Unless and until women have the same amount of input in the world of commerce as men; unequal parity will exist.
