Abstract

Wir untersuchen die Lohnunterschiede zwischen Frauen und Männern in Österreich von 2011 bis 2022 auf Basis des Mikrozensus. Im Jahr 2011 lag der durchschnittliche Lohn von Frauen im öffentlichen und privaten Sektor 19,6% unter dem der Männer. Bis zum Jahr 2022 verringerte sich der geschlechtsspezifische Lohnunterschied auf 13,5%. Auch der bereinigte Lohnunterschied sank in diesem Zeitraum von 7,8% auf 6,4%. Determinanten des Lohnunterschieds sind u. a. Unterschiede zwischen Frauen und Männern bei Merkmalen, die die Berufserfahrung beschreiben, der ausgeübte Beruf und die Branche sowie die vertikale Segregation. Die Annäherung der Lohnniveaus lässt sich im Wesentlichen durch eine Angleichung dieser Merkmale erklären. Der Anteil der nicht beobachteten Merkmale, die zu Lohnunterschieden führen, wie z. B. systematische Unterschiede bei Lohnverhandlungen oder auch eine systematische Unterbezahlung von Frauen, ist ebenfalls gesunken, allerdings in geringerem Ausmaß.
