Porovnání genderové nerovnosti v odměňování v České republice a v zemích Evropské unie

The Gender Pay Gap (GPG) is still an actual topic that resonates across debates at all levels, whether professional, economic, or social, and occurs in every country. The GPG is responsible for many consequences, such as lower women's pensions, negative consequences in the economy, or even gender stereotypes. The bachelor's thesis aimed to approach the GPG and compare this issue between the countries of the European Union (EU). The observed hypotheses were either supported or rejected. The data used for the analysis were obtained mainly from the Eurostat database. A total of eight countries were analysed, which both are historically and geographically close to the Czech Republic. Many indicators were used to compare countries, such as types of work schedules or the explained and unexplained part of the GPG. I found that Latvia reached the highest value of the GPG among the observed countries in 2020, the smallest in Luxembourg. The Czech Republic achieved above-average values within EU member states (27 countries), moreover, the Czech Republic has significantly improved since 2015. Furthermore, lower GPG was identified in countries where women's employment is low, such as Italy or Poland. For Germany and Austria, a part-time job is the reason for the GPG. The theoretical part showed that there are many causes of the GPG, in order to achieve a reduction, we would have to focus on all causes.
