Gender inequalities in the labour market

This thesis deals with the inequality of men and women in the labour market. It focuses on the problem of unequal pay caused by a different approach to man and woman workers. It also compares this real inequality with a predicted inequality, based on the expectations of university students. The last object of interest is the gender inequality in unemployment. The aim of this thesis is to find out whether male university graduates have different wages than female university graduates in the Czech Republic and whether this is caused only by the worker’s gender or is it influenced by at least another one different factor. The second aim is to compare real and expected gender pay gap values and the last one to find out whether there are differences in the unemployment caused by the person’s gender in the Czech Republic. Advanced statistical methods were used to achieve the outlined targets – Multinomial Logistic Regression in SPSS Statistics and Multinomial Correspondence analysis in XLSTAT. This thesis concludes that wages of women and men really depend on their gender and they are determined by another factor (like type of the job), as well. In contrary to that, no differences in the unemployment caused by gender were found. This thesis provides a new and uncommon view of the labour market gender inequalities, especially thanks to its university graduates‘ point of view and the gender unemployment gap analysis.
