women work for free from November 8 at 4:48 p.m.

Women are paid 13.9% less than men: “It shocks me, I didn't expect a figure of 14%. We don't know why actually. We work like men so why does a man have to earn more than a woman?”explains a passerby. An employee deplores that her salary was lower than that of her male colleagues with equal skills: “Indeed, between a man and a woman, gardener salaries are not equal. There can be a difference of between 250 euros and 1,000 euros.”

On average in France, a man earns 2,898 euros net per month compared to 2,508 for a woman. Year after year, the gap narrows only very slowly. Among the explanations, women are often forced to work part-time, they have less easy access to management and above all, they are often confined to the least valued sectors.
