In 2016, the largest gender pay gaps were recorded in enterprises engaged in financial and insurance activities – 38.3, information and communication – 29.9, and human health and social work activities – 26.6%.
The gender pay gap was influenced by social and economic rather than legal factors – number of men and women in a certain economic activity, their occupation, education, age, length of service, and other reasons.
The indicator in the EU was 16.3% in 2015, down by 0.4 percentage points year-on-year.
