Pay gap between women and men has narrowed: The difference in earnings fell from 18 to 16 percent, according to the Federal Statistical Office. The reason for this was the slightly higher wage increases that women were able to achieve in 2024, in contrast to men. According to the report, men earned an average of €26.34 per hour last year, €4.10 more than women. The statistics office attributes most of the pay gap to the higher proportion of part-time work among women and the lower salaries in female-dominated occupations. Even after adjusting for these factors, a gap of six percent of the hourly wage remains, for which there is no clear explanation. zdf.de, n-tv.de
