Estonia had the highest gender pay gap at 21.3 per cent, followed by Austria (18.4 per cent), Switzerland and Czechia (both 17.9 per cent).

Luxembourg (-0.7 per cent) was the only country with a negative figure, meaning women earned slightly more than men.

    When I think of the couples I know and what they do for living, in 100% of the cases the men earn more than the women not because of their sex but the nature of their work. That’s why I’m highly sceptical of how big the actual gender pay gap is. Applies in my case too; SO does assembly work in a factory and I run my own construction business.
