international definitions wherever feasible and may differ from official national figures.** The gender wage gap is unadjusted and is calculated as the difference between average earnings of men and average earnings of women expressed as a percentage of average earnings of men. This indicator provides a measure of the relative difference between the earnings of men and those of women. Data disaggregated by occupation are provided according to the latest version of the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO).

Positive values mean that men earn more than women on average; negative values mean that women earn more.\n- This is an unadjusted gender wage gap. It compares the average earnings of men and women employees, without accounting for other differences, such as education, experience, and detailed occupation. This means the gap reflects not only differences in pay for similar work, but also differences in individual characteristics and the kinds of jobs men and women hold.\n- This data covers paid employees only. It does not include self-employed workers, who make up a large share of the workforce in many countries.\n- This data comes from the International Labour Organization’s ILOSTAT database, which compiles labor statistics from national sources. Underlying national surveys differ in design and coverage, so cross-country comparisons should be made with some caution.","origins":[{"id":12491,"title":"ILOSTAT","description":"The ILO’s main online database, ILOSTAT, maintained by the Department of Statistics, is the world’s largest repository of labour market statistics.
