Gender Gap in Switzerland – Wider than European Average

From WRGFM:
Women all over Europe earn less than men, but in Switzerland the gap is
more pronounced than nearly all other countries in Europe. That is
according to figures released this week by the European commission, compared
with figures for Switzerland from 2005. This country ranks 22 nd – just
behind Great Britain and Finland and way below the European average.
Federal figures show Swiss women earned around 20 percent less than their male
counterparts. The EU average is around 15 percent less.
