Der Gender Pay Gap ist ja gut bekannt, interessant ist aber auch, wieviel jedes Geschlecht an Steuern zahlt. Dazu gibt es interessante Zahlen aus England:
“In the last tax year men paid £92 billion in income tax whereas women paid £36.8 billion, which is 60% less.”
Harriett Baldwin MP, West Worcestershire, House of Commons, February 8, 2013
There are more women in the workforce than ever before, and yet they still contribute 60% less in income tax than men.
Männer würden also, wenn ich das richtig sehe, 71,4% des Steueraufkommens tragen, Frauen demnach 28,6%

Mr Gauke’s source was the 2010-11 Survey of Personal Incomes, which was released at the end of January this year. The survey contains summary information about individuals who are UK taxpayers, their income and the income tax to which they are liable.
When we zoom into the figures, we can see the gap between men and women in employment is not too wide: respectively 12.9 million versus 11.1 million. When we look at men and women in self-employment, the gap is much wider: 2.5 million men and 986,000 women.
From the HMRC statistics it also emerges that the number of female income tax payers has gone down since the recession, from 14.2 million in 2007/2008 to 13 million in the current financial year (2012/13). The number of male taxpayers has also dropped from 18.2 million in 2007/08 to 17 million presently.
Man darf vermuten, dass es an Teilzeitarbeit und den wesentlich geringeren Selbständigen liegt.
