Closing the gender pay gap has long been a priority for the EU and is central to Europe 2020 Strategy, the EU's growth strategy for the coming decade.
In 2011, men had an average income of €33,364 while the average income for women was €24,515 or 73.5% of men's income. When these figures are adjusted to take account of the average hours per week spent in paid employment, women's average hourly income was about 94.1 % of men's in 2011.
Just under two out of ten (18.2%) men earned €50,000 or over in 2011 while just under one in ten (9.5%) women earned this amount. 41.8% of men earned under €20,000 in 2011 while more than half (50.3%) of women were in this category.
In interpreting this table it should be born in mind that no account has been taken of the number of hours being worked or of the occupations being performed by men and women (see tables 2.6 and 2.8). Also, income used for private pension contributions is not included in the figures.
