Secondo molte risorse, l’indice di uguaglianza di genere è più elevato, più il Nord vai in Europa. Perché il divario retributivo di genere è più grande dall’altra parte? Dice Internet "I nordici hanno un lavoro separato sesso" Ma perché questo non è vero in Italia per esempio?

Is this gap salary within same profession or overall salary difference?
“For every 100€ men earn, women earn” 🤣 that’s so misleading
If companies could pay women less for the same job and same amount of work, no one would hire men at all.
Due to social support, including decent maternity leaves, many women who start families have less need to keep grinding the corporate ladder and instead are able to take more time off.
It’s misleading data. It’s not taken from the same professions, so it’s like comparing apples with bananas. As an example, a male surgeon of a specific specialty, will earn exactly same as a female one, in the same specialty, not more. Same goes for other jobs. These must always be compared **within** the same professions.
Women choose jobs that dont pay as well. not everybody considers money to be most important factor in career choice
Weird I thought Finland was at least once the best in Europe for gender equality, although maybe that was based on some other kind of metric?
This is a lie, at best misleading fact, that has been perpetuated all over media for decades. There was of course a time when men earned much more than women, however this is no longer the case.
Perhaps 20 years ago I read some statistics, directed there by one activist researcher, which showed that indeed, “womans euro is 80 cents”. Those statistics did also show that “womans hour is 48 minutes”.
One difference was, at least at that time, that men worked more overtime, and wanted the overtime as money. And the statistics did not take this into account. Also, women did shorter hours for smaller pay. This too was not taken into account.
Now there probably is difference in pay in many instances, but that statistics is misleading.
Finland and Estonia can’t have the same pay gap because they are not the same.
Other countries also look suspicious.
Don’t believe TikTok science.
Turns out that when all jobs pay a living wage, people tend to, for some reason, pivot towards more traditionally accepted jobs. Like, not pushing for “new frontiers” for money isn’t absolutely necessary.
The traditional fields being, for example, caring for children, elderly, people anyways, for women and for men crafts and stem fields.
But that doesn’t even necessarily equate to a pay gap as the majority of doctors are women in Finland and they earn good money.
And still men have higher unemployment and incarceration rates, so has that been counted in?
Men demand bigger salaries more often than women, who tend to settle for less. In addition, men typically have longer careers (no maternity leave, lower education = years saved from studying) and they seek careerpaths, which pay the most (technology, finances etc.).
This data is commonly used as misinformation. The difference is explained by women doing less hours due to maternity leaves and so on. The hourly pay is similar when comparing similar jobs between men and women.
In my opinion, because in the Nordics women have the luxury of choosing the work they want to do rather than the one that brings money.
So you have relatively more women in fields like healthcare or social work that pays less but they might have more willingness to pursue than higher paying fields they aren’t necessarily interested in.
Due to the social net they also don’t need to climb the corporate ladder, can spend more time taking care of children, or even not work at all in some cases.
