Sažetak
Gender pay gap can be defined as the difference between male and female earnings, for approximately equal amount of work and time involved. This difference is persistent in all industrialized countries, meaning that also in every country in Europe one can find differences in earnings between the genders. However, different European countries reported different levels of gender pay gap differences – from the highest of 27, 2% in Estonia (2018) to the lowest of 1, 46% in Luxembourg (2018). Although some countries have reported a decrease in the gender pay gap, it has shown to be persistent despite the changes in regulation that were introduced in order to equalize earnings between genders. In addition to the gender pay gap levels, genders in European countries differ by other factors, such as the participation in the labour market, ownership and running of a business, positions held in management of companies etc. Some of the aforementioned factors were analyzed as a basis for cluster analysis which was conducted in this paper. The analysis showed that there are different clusters of European countries according to the position of women in the economic and labour market. The differences among those clusters were also analysed, limitations of the study were presented as well as recommendations for future research.
