The overall gender pay gap Statistics from both Eurostat, the official European statistical office, and the individual national statistical offices make it clear that there is a gender pay gap in Europe as a whole. Defined by Eurostat on the basis of hourly earnings and as the gap between men’s and women’s earnings as a percentage of men’s, this gap averages 16% across the EU. It ranges from a gap of more than a quarter (27%) in Estonia to around a fiftieth (2%) in Slovenia. The latest figures from Eurostat suggest that at least until 2010, the gender pay gap appears to have been narrowing. However, there was no further progress in 2011.
