Women earn twice less than men in Azerbaijan

Men earn almost twice more than women in Azerbaijan and the difference makes 43%.

The International Labor Organization (ILO) published a report on wage gap between men and women in different countries around the world – innov.ru media outlet reports.

By these indices, Azerbaijan is lagging behind all of its neighbors in the region. For example, Russian men earn by 27% more than Russian women, whereas in Georgia this difference makes 38%.
