Switzerland’s gender pay gap decreased in 2024, with women earning 15.7% less than men—a record low. This marks a continuing trend of improvement, down from 16.2% in 2022 and 19.0% in 2018. The Federal Statistical Office (FSO) attributes this progress to various factors impacting income equality. Notably, the “unexplained” portion of the gap, representing pay differences not linked to measurable factors like education or experience, also narrowed to 6.5%. This suggests a reduction in potential bias within the Swiss employment landscape. The data encompasses both the private and public sectors, indicating broad-based progress toward gender equality in earnings. While a gap remains, the consistent decline signals positive momentum for women in the Swiss workforce.
