The Gender Discrimination in the Southwest Region of Slovak Republic
Gajdošech, Martin ; Macáková, Libuše (advisor) ; Adámek, Petr (referee)
The main aim of this paperwork is to point out gender wage differential in the southwest region of Slovak Republic.The gender wage differential was set on the level of 126,2 eur, based on the findings from a questionnaire responded by 116 employees from this region. This means 18% lower wages for women. A relatively small differential is caused by the age structure of the respondents. Almost 48% of respondents were between 20 and 24 year old. We can observe the lowest gender wage differential among this group. By the application of a real age structure we would reach adifferential of 29% which was stated for the year 2009 in the district of Nitra. Approximatly 45 to 60% of the gender wage differential can be explained by the discrimination of women. A woman employed in the district of Nitra gains 76,4 to 101,9 eur less than her male colleague with comparable working abilities. The rest of the gender wage differential can be explained by the discontinuity of the performance of women on the labour market and also by more frequent shifts in work specialization.
