Romania -Statistics on wage development in 2010 -September 26, 2012

The National Institute of Statistics released the results of an earnings survey (year 2010) that is carried out every four years. One of the findings is that women earn about 10% lower than men. In 2010, the average annual gross earnings were 23,561 lei/person (approximately €5,900 in 2010), with significant differences by gender (22,772 lei/person for women compared to 24,264 lei/person for men). The figures also provide evidence for inequalities in the earnings distribution. Employees in the upper deciles (10th deciles) earned over 13 times more at year level than the employees in the lower deciles (1st deciles).
