- "The gender pay gap or gender wage gap is the average difference between the remuneration for men and women who are working".
- Women are generally considered to be paid less than men.
- There are two distinct numbers regarding the pay gap: non-adjusted versus adjusted pay gap.
- The latter typically takes into account differences in hours worked, occupations chosen, education and job experience.
- In a country like India, the reasons for gender pay gap are a little more complicated and can be linked to reasons ranging from the socioeconomic to the structural.
- Girl children are sometimes kept out of schools or made to drop out of school early.
- Even if they are educated, many women are not allowed to work by their families.
- Women who do join the workforce often need to take extended leaves for maternity and child care, and even the healthcare of other family members.
- All these factors lead up to women as a a whole falling well behind men when it comes to their earnings over time.
- In India, therefore, the gender pay gap is still quite wide. According to the Monster Salary Index (MSI) published in March 2019, women in the country earn 19% less than men.
- The survey revealed that the median gross hourly salary for men in India in 2018 was ₹242.49, while ₹196.3 for women, meaning men earned ₹46.19 more than women.
- Across the unorganized sector and especially in areas like agriculture, women are routinely paid significantly less than men, citing differences in capability.
