The increasing attention granted to improving gender equality in all the economic and social sectors, on all levels, is manifested in concrete actions undertaken by both different international bodies and national authorities. Even though the majority of EU member states have adopted the necessary legislative framework to ensure gender equality, the practical application of wage equality still remains a real problem. Studies in the field show that in Romania, remuneration differences between men and women are much lower in comparison to other states, but the effects are fully felt due to the low level of wages present on the internal labor market.
