GENDER INEQUALITIES IN REMUNERATION OF SOCIAL WORKERS – CLUSTERS OF SELECTED EU COUNTRIES.

Abstract

Gender differences are deeply rooted in history and are also reflected in the social environment and individual social relationships. Based on his physical abilities, a man is perceived as a leader whereas a woman is naturally understood as being subordinate to her leader. This claim persists in many cultures even in the 21st century and it causes social inequalities. The present research on gender differences is therefore a topical issue, touching on inequality between women and men in workplaces manifested in their unequal remuneration, often discriminatory to women. The present study focuses on the clustering of selected EU countries in relation to a specific indicator that reflects the remuneration reflecting gender inequalities. Since this topic is included in social work, it needs to be addressed and further explored.
