Global gender wage gap disparities

Overview

Global reports indicate a persistent gender wage gap, with the International Labour Organization noting that women earn an average of 18% to 20% less than men. This inequality is described as a structural issue requiring interventions such as salary transparency and the revaluation of female-dominated sectors.

In Spain, regional data from Castilla-La Mancha shows women earning significantly less than men, with the gap being particularly high among women aged 35 to 44 and among foreign women. Labor unions are advocating for equality plans and stronger gender gap reduction laws.

In Peru, the wage gap was reported at 25.5% in 2025. The disparity is more severe in rural areas and among parents. Challenges in Peru include high rates of informal employment and lower labor market participation for women, often driven by unpaid domestic responsibilities, maternity, and teenage pregnancy.
