This event is organized in cooperation with the newspaper “Die Presse”

Can gender equality be measured? The gender pay gap is one of the main indicators used to measure gender equality. Where does Austria stand compared to other countries when it comes to structural wage differences between men and women? According to Eurostat, the gender pay gap in Austria amounted to 18.9% in 2020, well above the EU average of 13%. What are the reasons for this? How can we close the gap? And when? We will discuss what measures need to be taken for women to get paid accordingly in the future and thus receive what they rightfully deserve.
