South Africa has a smaller gender gap than Switzerland, Denmark, Australia, the USA and many other developed countries. | News24_Business

But the worst part is SA's dismal showing on equal pay, despite more women doing better than men at universities.South Africa has a smaller gender gap than Switzerland, Denmark, Australia, the USA and many other developed countries. The country ranks among the leaders in political empowerment, sitting at number 13 out of 146 countries in this year's World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report.

She pointed out that countries like Namibia and Rwanda now repeatedly rank higher than South Africa, and there are no real signs of positive movement in our country. "South Africa's overall ranking is not reflective of its pay parity score. South Africa ranked 111th out of 146 in respect of pay parity," observed Salt.

Kwanele Ngogela, a senior inequality analyst at shareholder activism organisation, Just Share, said Statistics SA also estimates that the country's gender wage gap sits at 30% across the board. Salt said the income differential statement is currently in SA, and the Employment Conditions Commission is not permitted to disclose any information it receives. All that the public sees is the aggregated data that informs the Global Gender Gap Report scores.
