Studies Confirm Gender Roles Persist in 2023; 18% Pay Gap
Two FORSA studies conducted for XING show that the traditional gender division of labor between women and men persists in 2023, affecting both family life and the workplace. The research finds that 67% of women reduced their working hours to part-time to better balance family and career, while 38% of men did the same. Germany continues to confront a gender pay gap, with women earning 18% less per hour than men in the past year. The studies also reveal differing drivers for job changes: stress-related burnout and dissatisfaction with direct supervisors are more common reasons for women to consider leaving, whereas salary is a primary factor for men. Women report higher societal impact through their work (71% vs 59%), yet bear a larger double burden of job and family. Employers are urged to address women’s needs for team cohesion, flexible hours, and remote work to foster equality.
