It will take another 118 years until the global pay gap between men and women is finally closed. That’s the year 2133.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n So say the authors of the Global Gender Gap Report 2015<\/a>, who have spent 10 years measuring the economic gender gap between men and women.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n They found that since 2006, an extra quarter of a billion women have entered the labour force \u2013 and yet the annual pay for women only now equals the amount men were earning 10 years ago.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In many countries, more women are graduating from university than men but – crucially – this is not necessarily translating into more women occupying skilled roles or leadership positions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Over the past decade, the gap between women\u2019s and men\u2019s economic situation has declined by only 3% and the World Economic Forum experts estimate that it will be possible to eliminate it not early than 2133.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n However, some countries have solved this problem. For example, in Norway and Sweden women and men performing the dame job get the same money – on average 40 000 $ a year. In other Nordic countries the situation is a bit worse. So, in Iceland, where discrimination against wmen in all spheres of life is the least, according to the World Economic Forum report, women earn by 11% less than men, in Denmark \u2013 by 10%.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This year, Yemen was recognized as a country where priority of men over womnen is the greatest. The World Economic Forum estimates that for every dollar earned by men a woman receives 27 cent.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the past, EU statistics agency announced about the wage gap reduction. On average, in 2013, women were paid by 16,4% less than men, and in 2008, when financial crisis came, rhey were paid by 17, 3% less than men,\u00a0 – says Reuter agency.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
