Chairman office manager gender pay gap in Bosnia and Herzegovina

That works out to a 21% gap in favour of men, even when comparing people doing the same work.

Over a typical thirty-year career it can add up to several years of pay, and it compounds through pensions, retirement contributions and bonus-linked stock. Some of the gap is explained by women being more likely to work part-time, take career breaks, or be steered toward lower-paying specialisations. Some of it is straightforward unequal pay for the same job, which is harder to defend.
