Differences in salaries in the EU are at 15%. But if there is a woman on the board...
The inequality in the rates of employment between men and women is very high, even in young people. In short, there has been no silent revolution. "But another relevant aspect," as Alessandra Casarico, Professor of Public Economics at Bocconi University, explains in the video, "is the wage differential, which stands at about 15% on average in European Union countries, although with notable differences between countries. In Italy, for example, it is around 5%. The causes? Once this difference was justified by lower rates of education", continues Casarico, "but now it is no longer so. In a research, we showed that an important cause is that companies apply different salary policies and that women are less successful in negotiating their own career progression. But if there are women on a company's board, then the situation is better."
