Abstract

In Slovak Republic, as well as in other European and world countries can be observed a certain disproportion in wages between men and women. Slovakia, despite its small area differs in wages between men and women in different regions. Those disparities vary not only in space but also in time. Our main purpose is to find out whether economic crisis resulted in unemployment and so in gender pay gap in Slovakia. We chose for it period 2001-2013 years. Within period we selected the years 2001, 2007 and 2012. The year 2001 represents the highest unemployment, the 2007 the lowest unemployment and the 2012 the second peak of unemployment caused by the global economic crisis.

Keywords: gender pay gap, economic crisis, unemployment, Slovakia
