such As the Federal statistical office (BFS), women earn almost a fifth less than men. This has improved since 2012, only slightly. Is increased in the analysis of the year of 2016, however, the share of the wage differences are due to structural factors such as years of service or management function explain.
“we can see that the wage difference between women and men is greater, the higher the management position,” writes the BFS in a message from Thursday. In the lower wage segment, women are generally employed in the top and more men.
in 2016, were about 60 per cent of the labour occupied in the private sector with a monthly full-time gross wage of 4000 Swiss francs, of women. In positions with a gross salary of more than 8000 francs, the proportion of women was 28.2 percent, and Jobs with wages over 16’000 Swiss francs to 18 percent in the woman’s hand. After all, slightly more than in 2014, as the proportion of women was 15.2 per cent.
The wage differences between the sexes are partly due to structural factors, related to characteristics such as age, education, years of service, position in the company hierarchy and the activity carried out. The remaining portion of the wage gap remains unexplained.
657 Swiss francs is to grow little in the pay envelope

on average conceded to women in 2016, per month, 657 Swiss francs less than colleagues with the hair exactly the same conditions. 2014, it had been 585 francs less. This inexplicable Loss ranges from 327 Swiss francs in the hospitality industry up to almost 1300 francs in the credit and insurance industry.

In companies with up to 20 Digits, the proportion of unexplained wage differences in the funds amounted to nearly 61 percent, in Establishments with over 1000 employees, slightly more than a quarter. For the age of advantage: In the case of persons over 50 36.6 percent are affected by unexplained wage losses, in the 30 – to 49-Year-olds are 43.5 percent, Younger than 58 percent. (fal/sda)
