Some good news from Estonia.

According to Statistics Estonia, the gender pay gap decreased in 2025 by 1 percentage point.

It's good to see the progress, but there is still a lot of work to do to ensure that people, regardless of their gender, can have the same pay for same work.

Lowest-ever gender pay gap recorded in Estonia last year | Statistikaamet

“In 2025, average gross hourly wages were 13 euros for men and 11.4 euros for women, meaning that women’s wages were 12.2% lower. This means that the gender pay gap in Estonia was the narrowest ever,” said Krista Vaikmets, leading analyst at Statistics Estonia. She added that the gender pay gap has decreased by 10.7 percentage points in the last 15 years.
