Summary/Abstract: The present study has depicted the inequality among the average salary distribution among man and women regardless the similar educational attainments. Women’s average salary ranges between the 251-400 GEL whereas in man’s case the average salary is between 401-700 GEL. Educational level does not affect man’s salary (except PhD degree), while women should have an undergraduate or graduate degree to earn the average salary of man with secondary education. The unequal average salaries can be influences by the fact that more man (65%) work for the private sector, whereas women are working in private and public sectors in equal shares (47% respectively). Horizontal and vertical segregation also contributes to wage inequality - the study has found the evidence of both horizontal and vertical segregation in Georgia. Vertical segregation is manifested by the fact that 65% of respondents reported having a male manager, whereas 31% reported having female direct manager. Horizontal segregation is reflected in findings that 79% of employees at human health and social work sector and 78% of employees at education sector are women, whereas 96% of employees in construction sector, 91% of employees in transportation and storage sector and 47% of employees at public administration and defence, compulsory social security sector are man.
