Equality is far from being achieved and things are improving very slowly.

The pay gap between men and women in the public service fell slightly in 2018. This is indicated in the latest annual report on professional equality, posted online Thursday by the General Directorate of Administration and of the civil service (DGAFP).

"The net full-time equivalent salary of women is on average 12.3% lower than that of men in 2018", against a differential of 12.6% the previous year, it is specified in the document.

All sides combined, the median salary of public officials stands at 1,976 euros net, against 2,167 for men.

A 20.9% gap in the hospital public service

Disparities exist between sectors.

"Within the public service, the gaps are greater in the hospital public service (20.9% in 2018)", notes the report.

The state civil service, which has the most employees, has a wage gap of 9.2%.

In the territory, public officials earn 13.5% more than their female counterparts.

On average, the higher the wages, the greater the gender pay gap.

In 2018, the share of women in the overall workforce of the public service continued to increase, reaching 62.5% (+0.2 points).

The number of women belonging to the A + category, that of the best paid agents, increased by 0.5 points but they remain in the minority in the category (41.9% of the workforce).
