Summary/Abstract: In Slovakia, there are two institutions providing data about the gender pay gap: the Bureau of Statistics of the Slovak Republic and Trexima. Women in the SR make on average considerably less than men. Gender pay gap is larger when we compare monthly earnings rather than hourly rates. The gender difference in remuneration varies according to various components of the income. Also in Slovakia the gender pay gap is much more pronounced in the private sector. Horizontal segregation of the labor market is very pronounced in Slovakia and “female“ jobs are less valued. The gender pay gap occurs not only between sectors but also within sectors. The increase of the educational level does not automatically mean that women get better positions and a better pay. The gender pay gap is universal, it concerns all groups in the labor market.
