Gender Pay Gap:
In 2023, male lawyers in Germany earned about 18% more than female lawyers. If you consider factors like the type of job, leadership positions, and work hours, the difference goes down to 6%. However, in the legal field specifically, the gap is bigger. Men working as full-time lawyers made about 23.3% more than women. This means that female lawyers, in a way, work around 85 days a year without getting paid compared to their male colleagues.

Representation of Women:
More women are becoming lawyers in Germany. In 2024, women made up 37.09% of all lawyers, which is slightly more than the 36.67% in 2023.

a) Veterinarian

b) • Female veterinarians earn less than male veterinarians.

• Women earn €3.59 less per hour than men (2020 survey)

• Women earn 17.5% less than men on average

• Fewer women own veterinary clinics

• Most veterinarians in Germany are women

c) The results are disappointing. I didn’t expect such a large pay gap for veterinarians, especially since most are women now. The fact that men earn so much more is unfair.

1. starting salary

-> average: 41.200

->Men: 41.600

-> Woman: 39.00

-> pay gap = 4%

2. After 10 years

-> average: 49.200

-> Men: 49.500

-> Woman: 46.300

-> pay gap = 6%

I actually expected a gender pay gap because that is unfortunately how our society is (at the moment). Nonetheless I had hoped that the gender pay gap would not be that big because a male and a female paramedic are doing the same work but also show the same amount of passione (hopefully).

Starting salery for a year

Women: 53.300

Men: 57.700

-> difference: 7%

After 10 years

Women: 64.000

Men: 73.200

-> almost 10.000€ more/less

I did not expect that big of a gap, 10.000€ is extremely much (especially because they‘re doing the same (amount) of work (ofc different patients but women arent given „easier“ patients

30% of all IT specialist in Germany are women.

At this point most of the IT companies advertise the job of an IT specialist more to women, then men. Another thing could be, the fearof the women of working in a so much men based job.

There is no real pay gap, because of the differences in life between men and women. As example when women get pregnant, they then can‘t work fulltime anymore, and after the birth, the most don‘t work for 2 whole years and with a child in life the most of the women can‘t work fulltime anymore and so there is a pay gap, but because of the diferences in working hours.

The job of an IT specialist mostly is based on working overtime and mothers can‘t do that so the men in the company get paid more, with the reason of mor working hours.

c)

In my opinion and with the experience I made, I think it is mostly the fear of women working in this job, yes 30% isn‘t quite a small amount, but still just one third of the complete people who work in this job.

a) Designer

b) Source (EUIPO): Women designers earn 12.8% less on average than their male colleagues

-> Could take 50 to more years to close this gap indefinitely

c) Even though the pay gap isn’t that huge like other job, I still found it quiet surprising, because 61% of the design workforce are women (survey by AIGA).

But one aspect I mostly found shocking while researching, is the timespan until the gap is shut down permanently, it is far from our upcoming future. I do think, that we live in a society, where the passion about fulfilling dream jobs is bigger than on how we’re seen in our society.

„For purposes of our study, we analyzed data on 5,477 full-time RDs. Ninety-six percent were women, the median age was 43, and median total cash compensation for RDs employed in the position for at least 1 year was $45,500.00. Women earned $45,285.00 and men earned $50,250.00. A median wage gap of $4,965.00 between women and men was observed“

a) registered dietitian

b) no informations about Germany - study performed by university in Ireland: women about 10% less (2007)

c) I did not expect this - I fear it is similar in Germany. I thought that because this field isn’t troubled with harsh stereotypes, men and women would get paid an equal amount.

Gender-Based Wage Differentials Among Registered Dietitians : The Health Care Manager

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
lly explained by choice of practice area. However, much remains unexplained. Health care is a female-dominated industry with most of the women working in the allied health professions (eg, nurses, dietitians, etc). Registered dietitians (RD) may experience wage discrimination, similar to registered nurses, but prior to the present study, the assumption was not tested. Using data from the first comprehensive study of RD compensation, we examined gender equity in total cash compensation to RDs. Data were collected on total cash compensation, and questions focused on career progression and work outcomes. For purposes of our study, we analyzed data on 5,477 full-time RDs. Ninety-six percent were women, the median age was 43, and median total cash compensation for RDs employed in the position for at least 1 year was $45,500.00. Women earned $45,285.00 and men earned $50,250.00. A median wage gap of $4,965.00 between women and men was observed. Variability in total cash compensation to women was best explained by size of budget, years of experience, work setting, and educational level. Variability for men was explained by size of budget, years of experience, educational level, and employer status. Conclusions suggest that given the wage discrimination that female RDs experience, work organizations should evaluate their pay plans to monitor pay equity. Factors that women can manage to receive compensation that is equal to that of the men include size of budgets they manage, years of experience in the field, employer status, work setting, and educational level attained. Findings are useful for career advisers, human resource specialists, compensation specialists, supervisors, RDs, and compensation researchers.…

a) criminal police

b) At the start men get paid 4% more than woman.

After 10 years the gender pay gap rises to 7%.

c) I understand that men get paid more in this job as they can probably do more because they are just physically stronger. But I still find it unfair that the gender pay gap is so high, as woman who get qualified for police are strong enough too and work as hard as the men.

The gender pay gap was smaller in the education (10%) - sector in which also women work more often.

Source: 2022: Monthly Earnings Survey.

Women earned on average 18% less per hour than men in 2023. The differences in western Germany (and Berlin), amounting to 19%, were markedly larger than those in the eastern part of Germany (7%).

b) According to an analysis by Kununu, women earn around 10 percent less than men in this Job

C) I think everyone should be paid the same as long as they have the same qualities and working hours and it shouldn't be based on gender.

But I expected it to be more of a job that is done by men because most women tend to offer something different, just like construction site workers are also more likely to be men
