Where do women get more remuneration than men in the world?

There's still a wage gap, between men and women, that has to be addressed. Women, for years, have been pursuing education as an avenue toward equal pay, knowingly or not. In the 1970s, women excelled over men in earning associate’s degrees. In 1980, female college graduates took the lead in earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees. By the 2000s, more women earned doctoral degrees than men.

That progress helped close the gender pay gap, which currently stands at 19 cents, by some 7%. However, the pay is still low, due to the fact women tend to take jobs that aren't well paying. In fact, over a lifetime, women with bachelor’s degrees in business earn $1.1 million less than men with bachelor’s degrees in business. In fact, men earn more than women within every industry.

Finding a reason for that remaining gap is far more complex than personal choice; there are the discriminatory tradition of undervaluing women’s work, women’s disproportionate share of caregiving obligations, lack of child care and women’s salary negotiating tactics as possible reasons.

There are a lot of industries wherein men are expected to get paid more as compared to women. It does not mean that there are a lot of women who are basking in the unfairness of it all. Some are able to complain and get what they deserve. It is expected though that in some industries, women may get paid more than men. T

he entertainment industry is one example. There are a lot of women who get paid more as compared to their male counterparts. Women entertainers also get more fans as compared to male ones.
