ABSTRACT: Gender wage gaps have increased exponentially over the last few decades. This has serious consequences for high wealth inequality. While governments and firms are designing policies to reduce the gender wage gaps, few of the reasons are structural in nature. This paper analyzes the factors affecting gender wage gap in selected G20 economies, combining both developed and emerging economies. The results show that while richer economies exhibit higher gender wage gaps, larger proportion of women in the workforce, and the increasing share of women completing tertiary education are factors that significantly reduce the gender wage gaps across economies.
