Newsletter| South African women who are permanently employed earn 22.7% less than men do and women who work part-time earn 39% less than men do. Can we come up with any explanations for this inequality? asks Vuyelwa Dantjie
South African women who work part-time earn 39% less than men do. South Africa came in as the second worst country surveyed for part-time wage inequality; Pakistan came in at 77.4%.There is no real evidence that the level of education alters the gender pay gap. Looking at the score in education figure below we can see that females are as educated as males and in some cases are in fact more educated than males such as in the technical occupations.
There are also more women in quantity within the technical field , yet we still see a pay gap of just under 10% in the gender pay gap figure within the same field.
