Research on the Gender Pay Gap in Hungary shows that the difference in pay between men and women does not decrease, but increases. More research from Hungary in January showed that in Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia (the Visegrad Four), knowing a foreign language is a key asset in the labour market. The study analyses information from online job portals with a focus on the supply side, which is well documented. However, less is known about the demand side.
A paper from WageIndicator’s Ernest Ngeh Tingum (February, 2016), on women working in the formal sector in 16 Sub-Saharan African countries uses individual data for 9,957 female employees. these were drawn from a total sample of 29,332 individuals in formal enterprises. What is the likelihood that these working women are employed in the service sector? The data reveals that there is a significant higher presence of women (81.56%) working in services as compared to the manufacturing and agricultural sectors. This result indicates that the service sector is more favourable for female employment as compared to male employment. Moreover, this outcome shows that female employment in the service sector is a driver of growth, and thereby contributes to a country’s potential to grow more rapidly.
