The gender pay gap remains a stark reality across Europe, showing persistent inequality in wages, workforce participation, and leadership roles. Women earn just €87.30 (US$99.10) for every €100 ($113.51) earned by men, according to Eurostat. This unadjusted gap, which doesn't factor in education, age, or job type, means women would need to work an extra 1.5 months a year to close the gap.
