Women Earn Less Due to Caregiving Responsibilities, Slovak Analysis Shows
Share:
Women in Slovakia earn less than men primarily because they bear the majority of responsibility for caring for children and elderly family members, according to analysis released on International Women's Day. The wage gap stems from women's disproportionate burden of unpaid care work, which limits their career advancement and earning potential. This caregiving responsibility continues to be a major factor affecting women's economic participation in the Slovak labor market.
