Austria has the third highest gender pay gap in the EU

The article reports that Austria has the third highest gender pay gap in the European Union, according to a new WIFO analysis. It highlights structural disadvantages faced by women in the Austrian labor market, particularly due to caregiving responsibilities leading to high part-time employment rates. While Austria performs well in other economic indicators such as productivity and low youth unemployment, the gender pay gap remains significant, with women earning 17.6% less than men. The report attributes this disparity to factors like limited access to childcare infrastructure and the disproportionate burden of unpaid care work on women.
