Amsterdam, Netherlands: WageIndicator Global Report March 2012.

They know it and it makes them less \r\nsatisfied with their wage, working environment and – indeed – their \r\ncolleagues, then men. Yet it seems hard to remedy these situations of \r\nfactual discrimination in terms of working conditions. This finding is \r\nin line with the persistent pay gap typical for all gender relations of \r\nthe working population, whatever their occupation, branch of industry, \r\nor region of the world they work in. It is however telling that this \r\nstructural deprivation persists even amongst that part of the workforce \r\nthat is supposedly well informed and assertive when it comes to getting \r\nthings done.    \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Male wages exceed female wages in all 16 studied countries, from the EU, the former Soviet Union and in Central and Latin America.\r\n The only asset women broadly share seems to be that they, less then \r\ntheir male colleagues, work in shifts or at irregular hours, on \r\nSaturdays, Sundays, or in the evenings, or do telework. But their more \r\nregular working week apparently does not compensate enough to make them \r\nfeel as satisfied with their jobs as the men they work with on an equal \r\nfooting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These\r\n are the main findings of the report Gender Pay Gap in Journalism, March\r\n 2012. It is based on the international dataset of wages per occupation,\r\n compiled through the Wage Indicator Salary Surveys from 2009 till 2011.\r\n During this period nearly 2,000 journalists across the globe completed \r\nthe questionnaire.\u003C\u002Fp>","light",{"text":40,"link":41},"Contact us",{"title":40,"url":42,"description":40,"rel":43,"type":44,"id":45},"\u002Fabout\u002Fcontact","follow","internal",24590,[],[],[],[],false,"\u002Fwork\u002Fliving-wages\u002Fcontact-us","\u003Cp>Welcome to WageIndicator.
