development and economic growth? Gender issues have become one of the most widely discussed subjects for the past few decades.

Introduction The gender pay gap is the difference between women’s and men’s average weekly full-time equivalent earnings, expressed as a percentage of men’s earnings. The gender pay gap is different in each country and is influenced by a number of work, family and societal factors, including stereotypes about the work women and men ‘should’ do.
