Gender pay gaps linked to working time and qualifications

2020-06-18T17:51:49.169Z


According to an INSEE survey, the remuneration received by women is on average 28.5% lower than that of men.


The Minister of Labor keeps repeating: " The wage gap between a man and a woman for the same job has been prohibited by law for forty-seven years ." However, an INSEE survey released on Thursday confirms that women in the private sector earn on average 16.8% less than men in full-time equivalent (EQTP). A slightly smaller gap in the public service (12.4%).

Women who are more often part-time, and less often employed during the year, are particularly penalized. Taking these two sources of wage gap into account, the statistical institute estimates that the remuneration received by women is on average 28.5% lower than that of men. More than 40% of this wage gap results from inequalities in working time.

Another dysfunction: the more women graduate, the more the difference in wages (in EQTP) increases. It ranges from 15.8% for people who do not have the baccalaureate to 29.4% for holders of a bac + 3 or more. And professional experience does nothing to correct these inequalities, on the contrary! Among women with more than thirty years of career, the pay gap reaches 21.7%, compared to 6.4% among people with less than five years of professional experience.

Finally, the fact that they do not all occupy the same trades, combined with hierarchical inequalities, with 22.8% of men in a managerial position against 17.5% of women, further accentuates these wage differences. .
