Women in the job: So they finally earn more and rock their career!

In a clear graphic, the threshold values are shown that women "top, top, top or high earner" categories.

In Germany, the acquisition situation of women is a central topic. According to the social report in 2024, the Federal Center for Political Education is still often regarded as the main responsible for the well -being of the family, which is strongly shaped by traditionalism. A statistical survey showed that in 2022 over 63 % of men make a living from their own employment, while women are only 49 % for women. The challenging reality is also evident in the gender pay gap: While women earn 18 % less than men in 2023, the imbalance becomes even clearer if one looks at the lower employment rate and part -time work of women who often have to restrict themselves in their employment due to childcare and family obligations. The figures make it clear that despite the increased employment of women - most recently at 73 % - there are still considerable discrepancies that are favored by deeply rooted social structures.

The effects of these slopes are alarming, because women not only have difficulties in professional life due to their lower incomes, but are also confronted with a significant “gender pension gap” in old age. Statistics show that women aged 65 and over in 2023 have an average age income of 39.4 % less than men. This means that many older women are more affected by poverty and social exclusion than their male peers. These inequalities are an urgent wake -up call for society, equality and opportunities for women in professional life in both Austria and Germany.
The combination of the analysis of the "crown" and the social report 2024 from Germany not only shows the major challenges, but also the need to finally get these topics at the center of political and social debates.
