The World Economic Forum (WEF) believes it will take another 118 years - or until 2133 - until the global pay gap between men and women is finally closed.

Surprisingly, the wage gap between male and female did not narrow after the financial crisis in 2008. Women are now earning the amount that men did in 2006, data from the report says.

According to the report, in 2015, the global average annual salary of a full-time female staff member is USD 11,100 while that of a male is USD 20,600, 50 per cent more than that of a female employee. A full-time male employee's average annual salary was USD 11,400 in 2006, fair to that of current full-time female employee.
报告显示，全球全职女性职工的平均年薪为11,100美元，而全职男性职工的平均年薪为20,600美元，比女职工多50%。2006年时，全职男性职工的平均年薪为11,400美元，与全职女职工现在的平均年薪持平。
The report says the gap between the economic opportunities available to men and women narrowed by 3 percent in the last decade, according to the annual Global Gender Gap Report. At that rate of improvement, women will not achieve financial parity with men for another 118 years.
《全球性别差距报告》称，过去10年里，男女在经济机会方面的差距仅缩小了3%，按照此提升速度，实现男女收入平等还要再等118年。
