Inequality in Germany – women still earn less than men!

An OECD study from 2015 shows that women in Germany are paid less than men. Nevertheless, Germany does not even come off badly in an international comparison. Purchasing power parity was calculated here in order to make the differences between 12 selected countries comparable.

In this international comparison, the USA and Sweden are exemplary. According to this study, men and women are paid equally. However, Germany is right behind, where women earn 9% less than men on average.

The reasons for this are well known:

• Women work more part-time
• Women occupy relatively fewer management positions
• In terms of occupational fields, women tend to work in lower-paid jobs
• Women take part-time parental leave more often
• Unfortunately, discrimination still plays a role

In other European industrialized countries, however, this difference is between 23 – 41 %, in Asian industrialized countries and Russia it is 38 – 39 %!

Only India stands out clearly here with 75%.

It is striking that a relatively large number of women work in Germany: 72%.
This is also higher than most comparable countries in an international comparison.

By contrast, India (29%) and Italy (54%), more traditional societies, have the lowest values.

It is also interesting to note that in all countries compared, with the exception of Japan and India, more women than men pursue the highest levels of education. The frontrunner here is Sweden, where 50% more women than men study. The UK, USA and Japan have equally high figures. It therefore seems to be a matter of time before women have “marched through the institutions”.

Conclusion: There are imbalances in all countries with a few exceptions. Time will decide how things develop here. No consolation for German women, but there is still work to be done everywhere. One thing is clear – it is not just the bare statistics that can provide answers. Culture and changing values also play a decisive role.

This is where Global Cultures can make an important contribution to a deeper understanding.
