Hungarian Women Earn One-Fifth Less Than Their Male Counterparts
Hungarian women earn, on average, about 21% less than men, according to data collected by fizetések.hu, a salaries site run by jobs portal Workania. The fresh data show men earned on average 220,000 forints a month last year, while women took home just 173,400 forints.

Hungarian women have earned 21% less than men since 2011. In the years before that, the difference was 23%. The difference between men’s and women’s pay gets bigger the higher the position, Workania said.

Top women managers make 26% less than their male counterparts. Those in middle management earn 18% less.

The difference for positions requiring university degrees, but not in management is 16%, and the gap is 12% for administrative jobs. In the service sector the difference is 19%.
