| Summary: | The gender wage gap in Thailand is
much less significant than in most countries in the world.
The average hourly wage among female workers, in fact,
slightly surpasses that of males. This highly equitable
gender wage pattern is seen at all levels of the wage
distribution. Female representation is also quite equal at
all levels of wages; the likelihood of finding females in
low-wage jobs is as high as in high-wage jobs. One important
factor driving this gender wage parity is the higher
educational attainment among female workers. |
