STATS SA Gender Series Volume IX: Women Empowerment.

Loading player...
The Gender Series IX report on women empowerment released by Statistics South Africa today indicates a steady increase in women's share in the working-age population over the last 5 years. Despite more females in the labour force, males have higher employment rates than their female counterparts. The gender gap of 0,778 in monthly median earnings between male and female shows that there are inequalities in monthly median earnings. Parity in earnings was only reached with tertiary education. Furthermore, women continued to be more likely than men to be unemployed.
