+ This data measures the gender wage gap: the difference between the average hourly earnings of
+ men and the average hourly earnings of women, expressed as a percentage of men’s average

+ that women earn more.

+ This is an unadjusted gender wage gap. It compares the average earnings of all men and women
+ employees, without accounting for other differences, such as education, experience, and detailed
+ occupation. This means the gap reflects not only differences in pay for similar work, but also
+ differences in individual characteristics and the kinds of jobs men and women hold.
+ - |-
+ This data covers paid employees only. It does not include self-employed workers, who make up a
+ large share of the workforce in many countries.

+ This data comes from the International Labour Organization’s ILOSTAT database, which harmonizes
+ labor statistics from national sources. Underlying national surveys differ in design and
+ coverage, so cross-country comparisons should be made with some caution.
