Measuring Gender Income Gaps in Switzerland (Switzerland)

Responding to a request of a parliamentarian in 2019, on 7 September 2022 the Swiss Government adopted the report elaborated by the national statistical office on the recording of the gender overall earnings gap and other indicators on gender-specific income differences. It provides new key figures for Switzerland and places them in relation to existing indicators. In addition, the report also offers interpretation aids to help place the results in an economic, social and institutional context. This paper summarizes the results of the report.
