Belgium closes gender pay gap to 4.5% but gender inequality remains high

Diegem, 8th of March 2024 - Belgium’s gender pay gap is steadily closing, narrowing the difference in female pay to 4.5% compared to 5% in 2021.  PwC’s latest Women in Work Index shows progress towards gender parity is still too slow; it will take more than half a century to close the gender pay gap at the current rate of change. “While Belgian companies may be slowly closing the pay gap, the challenges for women in our labour market remain high. It’s not only about equally rewarding the workforce but also about offering flexibility and creating an inclusive work organisation,” says PwC Belgium Chairman, Axel Smits.
