Throughout the world men's pay is on average 22% higher than female


Rio - Brazil is the country that registered the highest wage difference between men and women, suggests study published this Wednesday by the International Confederation of Trade Unions (ICFTU, in English). The research, conducted with 300 thousand women from 24 countries, estimates that the world is the male pay, on average, 22% higher than the female. In Brazil, this index reaches 34%. On International Women's Day, March 8, the Association of Magistrates of the Labor Court of the 1st Region (AMATRA1) strengthens the
discussion on the subject.

"Despite the importance for the growth of the economically active population in Brazil, women still have to work across the bias when it comes to pay," the judge recognizes Luciana Neves, president of AMATRA1. "The Federal Constitution establishes strict gender equality and to reflect and ways of combating discrimination, in order to ensure compliance with Article 5, paragraph I of the Constitution, which all are equal before the law", the judge warns .

According to the IBGE, the proportion of men who have income above five minimum wages equivalent to twice the percentage of women who reach the same wage level - even in traditionally female areas such as education, health and personal services.

"Since the nineteenth century, the consolidation of the capitalist system promoted changes in the organization of working women. Certainly, the current Constitution and the amendments to the provisions of Labor Laws Consolidation of dealing with the protection of women's work are to advance social and legislative. However, there is a need to monitor whether these guarantees are being met, "Luciana considered.

According to last census of the IBGE, women are majority in Brazil, representing 51.25% of the population. This majority is increasingly reflected in the composition of the labor market. The proof is that in the previous census, women have accounted for 44.1% of the Brazilian market.
