The research showed that gender is a predictor of wages. A clear example of this inequality is what occurs in the salary bracket above 20 minimum wages, where only 31.4% of workers are women, while 68.6% are men. "When asked which variables most influence the prediction of an individual's gender, salary always stood out. This means that, in Brazil, the simple fact of earning more money is already, statistically, an indication that the person is likely male," he emphasizes.

On the other hand, the research indicated that education is a potential path for women to achieve better salaries. In the highest salary bracket, 2.4% of workers with doctorates are women, while 2% are men. According to Luisa, although small, the difference should be analyzed in context, which shows that there are almost twice as many men in the highest salary bracket compared to women. This indicates that, to achieve high salaries, women need a higher level of qualifications than men.

Women's participation in the labor market has increased, but wage inequality persists. The 3rd Salary Transparency and Remuneration Criteria Report, released this Monday (7), indicates that women earn 20.9% less than men in 53,014 establishments with 100 or more employees. The figures are part of the 2024 Annual Social Information Report (RAIS). A total of 19 million employment relationships were analyzed, 1 million more than in the 2023 RAIS. In the first report, inequality was 19.4%, and in the second, 20.7%.

In terms of average pay, men earn R$4,745.53, while women  earn R$3,755.01. For Black women, the average salary is  R$2,864.39, an even greater difference compared to non-Black men—  whose average is R$6,033.15—when compared to previous reports. In  2024, they earned 47.5% of what non-Black men earned—in  2023, they earned 50.3%.

The survey shows that when women hold president and director positions, they earn an average of 32% less than men. In consultant positions, the difference reaches almost 39%. The smallest differences are in assistant/assistant and intern/trainee positions.

Kátia believes that the historical context explains so many of the differences revealed by the research. "The fact that women entered the market later, had access to education later, and had primary responsibility for motherhood—all of this contributes to the slower career progression and the existence of these differences," she explains.
