Friday Figures - 12 Mar

Of EU countries for which data are available, Eurostats found that in 2019, women’s gross hourly earnings were on average 14.1% below those of men in the EU. Additionally, the gender pay gap differs per economic activity: looking at the data available for the Arts, Entertainment and recreation sector, the gender pay gap rises to 16.5%. The pay gap is even higher in the private sector in the majority of the EU countries. This seconds the observations made by Women in CTRL at the occasion of IWD 2021, which is specific to the UK music industry.
