Abstract
The gender pay gap (GPG) represents one of the clearest indications of the persistence of gender inequalities in the labour market. Eradication of the GPG is included in target 8.5 of the Sustainable Development Goals in line with the ILO Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100), which calls for men and women to receive equal remuneration for work of equal value. A new statistical analysis from the ILO Office for Central and Eastern Europe shows that while the GPG in the Republic of Moldova has narrowed over the last decade, women continue to earn less than men for work of equal value - about 15 per cent less in terms of monthly wages.
