Women are not only underrepresented in management positions but they are also more likely to be employed in jobs with low wages. Low-pay workers refer to those who earn less than two-thirds of the median of the earning distribution. Below in the ILOSTAT map you can compare the data for selected countries where the share above 50% means that there are more women than men in jobs with low wages.
