India's Gender Pay Gap Narrows Sharply, Ranking Among The Lowest Worldwide · freepressjournal.in

In India, the difference in how much men and women get paid at work is getting smaller.

A recent report looked at pay information from many companies and found that men and women in India are now paid about the same.

The report shows that this is because companies are starting to pay people fairly and use information to decide salaries.

The salaries for engineers and data professionals decreased, but other professionals still get paid fairly.

Also, many workers in India work both full-time and as contractors.

According to the report, the US, UK, and Canada have the highest pay in the world.
