Old-age poverty among women
Will parental leave and childcare be paid in future?
Despite efforts towards a more equal society, the high rate of part-time work among women, poverty in old age and the gender pay gap indicate that there is still room for improvement.

According to SPÖ women's representative Sara Schaar, one of the main problems is the so-called gender pay gap: "Women in Carinthia still earn 12.8 percent less than men." This can be explained by the fact that women often work in lower-paid jobs or are less likely to hold management positions. What is strange is that a third of this percentage remains unexplained. This is exactly where we need to start. Various programs and projects from the state, AMS and ÖGB are intended to help.
