The wage differentials between women and men in osrednjeslovenska and pomurska statistical region

Plača je denarno nadomestilo, ki ga delodajalec plača zaposlenemu v zameno za opravljeno delo in je del stroškov, ki so vključeni v vodenje podjetja. Drži, da je plača že od nekdaj občutljivo področje s socialnega, motivacijskega in političnega vidika. Vedno aktualno vprašanje je, ali moški zaslužijo več kot ženske, in če je odgovor pozitiven, zakaj prihaja do tega. V teoretičnem delu magistrske naloge smo zajeli nekatera področja, ki se nam zdijo pomembna pri raziskovanju razlik v plači med spoloma. Predelali smo teorijo plač, zgodovina plač, položaj žensk nekoč in danes, management človeških virov in njegove funkcije, diskriminacija, poklicna segregacija ter enakost žensk in moških na trgu dela. Za raziskavo razlik v plači med spoloma smo izbrali dve slovenski regiji, ki se po našem mnenju najbolj razlikujeta, to sta osrednjeslovenska in pomurska regija. V empiričnem delu magistrske nalogo smo z že obstoječimi podatki, ki smo jih pridobili s spletne strani Statističnega urada Republike Slovenije (SURS), primerjali plačo med ženskami in moškimi v omenjenih regijah med letoma 2015–2017. Cilj magistrske naloge je bil ugotoviti, ali obstaja razlika v plači med ženskami in moškimi v izbranih regijah. Pri raziskavi so bile pomembne spremenljivke tudi izobrazba, starost in višina povprečne bruto plače.A wage is a regular payment paid by an employer to an employee in exchange for work carried out and is a part of the costs involved in running the business. The fact is that the wage has always been a sensitive issue from social, motivational and political aspects. The ongoing and always interesting question is whether men earn more than women do and if the answer is positive, why. In the theoretical part of this master thesis, we covered some of the areas that we consider important in examining the gender wage gap. We went over the theory of wages, history of wages, the situation of women in the past and in the present, human resources management and its functions, discrimination, professional segregation and equality between women and men in the labour market. To study the gender wage gap, we selected two Slovenian statistical regions, which, in our view, are the most diverse, namely the Osrednjeslovenska and Pomurska region. In the empirical part of the master thesis, we compared men´s and women´s wages in selected regions between 2015¬¬¬-2017 by using already existing data that we obtained from the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia website. The aim of the master thesis was to determine whether there is a wage difference between women and men in these regions. In our research, significant variables were also education, age, and the level of the average gross wage
