Les écarts de salaire entre les deux sexes s’expliquent notamment par « la répartition genrée des professions », selon l’Insee. Le plafond de verre n’a pas disparu, puisque parmi les 1 % des postes les mieux rémunérés, on ne compte que 24 % de femmes.
In 2023, women in France's private sector earned 22.2% less than men on average. This gap has decreased since 1995, but persists due to factors like part-time work, occupational segregation, and fewer women in top-paying positions (24% of the top 1%). Even with equal working hours, women earn 14.2% less, though this shrinks to 3.8% for the same job in the same establishment. The pay gap widens with age and number of children.
