Staunton, Sept. 23 – Using official government figures, Russia ranks third among the countries of the world in the pay gap between men and women, with Russian men earning 30.4 percent more than Russian women, only slightly behind the figures in South Korea and India where the gap is 32.5 percent and 30.4 percent respectively.
In 2023, the last year for which there were comparable data, Russian men earned on average 87,757 rubles a month while Russian women earned only 61,113. But in reporting these official numbers, the NeMoskva portal noted that these were “only official numbers” (nemoskva.net/2025/09/23/huzhe-situacziya-tolko-v-indii-i-yuzhnoj-koree/).
According to various people with whom the portal spoke, the actual numbers are different and the gap between genders is far greater. If that is the case, then it is almost certain that the Russian Federation has the greatest gender pay gap of any country in the world at the present time.
