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.
You should be super angry at being tricked by bad data and reported in such a way as to make you unreasonably angry for reasons that are based on feelings instead of facts:
The data is bad because a man working 40 hours for minimum wage ($7.25) makes more than a woman working 20 hrs at $12.50 would be included in this report.
Don’t fall for ragebait bullshit.
Yeah, that was my first thought as well when I first encountered this problem some time ago, however in Germany
the difference between hourly wages is 18% on average,
the difference in pay for the same work is 6%.

And 3) if education, hours worked, age and type of job indeed is the main factor, we should maybe ask ourselves why this is so and if it has to be this way, e. g. why female dominated jobs pay less.
That is some sexist bullshit and if you allow, I’ll remain angry.
