Gender gap in salaries in Albania has gotten even closer. The average
salary of women in Albania is 44.000 ALL. The average pay for men is
47.000 ALL. The gap is now 6%, from 10% that it was in 2014.
“Having more freedom, being more open, women want to manage their lives. This is a tendency of especially younger generations. Women want a higher pay level and there is a higher investment in education. The society is also more open”, says sociologist Edmond Dragoti.
Men seem better paid in IT positions, health care, education, business administration, defense and industry.
INSTAT notes that women are more paid then men in managerial positions, but this doesn’t mean there is no discrimination.
The gender pay gap in Albania is lower than in several developed European countries. However, the number of employed citizens in those countries is higher, and also the pay level, which also deepens the gap.
