At the beginning of the legislative year, Mauricio Macri gave a speech where he said equal gender pay was a priority. Gender discrimination is a current topic, as well as poverty, in Argentinian society.
Lately, the hottest topic has been the cases where gender discrimination is connected to poverty, wish is by over 35%. This unfair situation is more frequent than many people think.
The area where the gender pay gap is bigger is the mining industry (29,6%), followed by the electric sector (25,6%) the trade sector (23,6%), social services (20,3%), transporting industry (19,9%) and financial sector (13,4%). Nevertheless, agriculture is only over 4%.
In the current context, it seems weird that women are better paid on the building sector. However, this has an easy explanation: males work as labourers, while females have administrative positions.
