Wage equality between women and men for similar work (survey data, normalized on a 0-to-1 scale)* 0.66 (2022)
*This indicator is derived from the following survey question: In your country, for similar work, to what extent are wages for women equal to those of men?
1 = not at all/significantly below those of men. 7 = fully/equal to those of men. It is then transformed into a 0-1 scale where zero means “large gap” and 1 means “no gap”.
