Figures from the European Commission show the gender pay gap in Romania widened between 2008 and 2011. The pay gap, measured as the difference in average earnings by men and women, increased from 8.5% to 12.1%. The increase in Romania goes against a European trend of a slow diminishing of the gender pay gap. The gender pay gap in Romania remains smaller than the EU average, which was 16.2% in 2011.
