India- Women earn 20%
less than men, study finds
Women in India earn 20% less than men, according to
research from the latest Monster Salary Index for 2017.
Monster's data showed that the gender pay gap has narrowed
from 24.8% in 2016. However, for talent with work experience, the
gap has widened and is at its highest at 25% for those with 11
years or more of experience. Men with 0-2 years of experience
earned about 8% higher median wages than women, while men with 6-10
years of experience, earned 15% more. For those with 3-5 years
experience, there was an inverted pay gap where women earned
slightly more.
Nearly half, or 44% of men say they could be effective
advocates for change for gender initiative programs at the
workplace, while 39% women thought the same. However, 40% women
felt men were allies in gender equality only in private as they
feared being judged by male peers.
Abhijeet Mukherjee, CEO, Monster.com, APAC & Gulf,
commented, "Let's not get carried away with the narrowing gender
pay gap revealed by the 2017 MSI because the gender pay gap in
India widens as one gains work experience. Moreover, the overall
gender pay gap of 20% is still a daunting number."
Monster最新发布的《2017薪酬指数报告》指出，印度女性的收入普遍比男性低20%。报告中的数据显示，印度性别收入差距已从2016年的24.8%降低到了20%，然而，对于有工作经验的人才来说，收入差距仍在继续扩大。在那些拥有11年或以上经验的人当中，这一差距达到了25%。拥有0-2年工作经验的男性的工资中位数比女性高出8%。拥有6-10年工作经验的男性收入高于处于同等水平女性的15%甚至更多。但对于那些有3-5年工作经验的人来说，而女性的收入则略高一些。
近一半的男性（44%）表示，他们是职场中倡导并支持性别平等的领导者；39%的女性持相同看法，但40%的女性只有在私下认为男性同事在倡导性别平等的战争中是她们的同盟，在工作场合中，他们仍旧害怕被男性同事评判。
CEO首席执行官Abhijeet
Mukherjee评论道:"我们不要被《2017年薪酬指数报告》中所提到性别收入差距有减小而蒙蔽，因为印度的性别收入差距是随着工作经验的增加而扩大的，此外，20%的性别收入差距仍然是一个令人望而生畏的数字。"
