Abstract

This chapter provides evidence on the gender wage gap in Belarus during the period 2001–2016—after crossing 20% in the early 2000s, there was no improvement in it; this is the main outcome of the research. The authors argue that this could be a sign of increased vulnerability of the Belarusian women, both in the labor market and within the family. It is crucial that policymakers do not neglect this issue as it can have negative implications for the accumulation and use of human capital as well as for population development. This chapter presents an analysis of the reasons behind such developments, and advocates a more gender-sensitive and sustainable approach to policymaking.
