New Delhi: There is a large difference in the salary structure of men and women in corporate India. The average annual income of a woman is $1,185, which is less than one-third of a man's $3,698, employed in Indian companies.
According to the survey done by World Economic Forum (WEF), there is a yawning gender gap in corporate India in the employment of women from the entry level to the top management of companies. As reported by Financial Chronicle, the survey, based on responses of 60 of the 100 best employers in India, showed that women employees held only 10 percent of the senior management positions in two-thirds of the surveyed companies. None of the companies had women chief executive officers (CEOs) and almost 40 percent of the respondents had only 10 percent women work force.
Only four percent of the companies surveyed monitor salary gaps. However, 84 percent of the companies surveyed don't believe there is a wage gap, while the remaining 12 percent do not track wage gaps at all. "It's not okay in India if a woman brandishes a whiskey bottle and sells it," said Vijay Mallya, Chairman, UB Group, implying that cultural and social norms prevented some work environments to be naturally women-unfriendly.
Saadia Zahidi, the Co-author of the study said, "Women will need to be more efficiently integrated into the economy in order to boost India's long-term competitive potential. The WEF's survey of some of the largest companies in India shows that to achieve this integration, Indian companies will need to set targets, improve policies to close salary gaps and promote work-life balance."
PepsiCo Chairman and CEO, Indra Nooyi said that there was a need to educate the male population about women empowerment, besides educating the female population. "If you do not treat the women well, society will not progress," added Indra.
India ranks 114th among 134 countries in the WEF's India gender gap review 2009. It has closed 93 percent of its health gender gap, ranking 134th out of as many economies. It stands at 121st position in education gap with 84 percent and is at 127th place with 41 percent of economic participation gap. Besides, it is ranked 24th with 27 percent of the political empowerment gender gap, according to the study.
"The issues are all very critical. They are importantly integrated in terms of moving a country forward. The common ingredient in most studies is the recognition that investment in women and girls correlates positively to economic growth and poverty alleviation," said Melanne Verveer, U.S. Ambassador-at-large for global women's issues.

4: what i think it is all about ur personnel
view if somebody is not qualified how one can
be promoted besides women candidate not at
all competing with their male counter parts
what they want is reservation so without any
talent they can get trough ,because if they
want equality and are equally talented then
should competing with men but what they did
is surly showing they know they dont even
stand far to the mens capability . and at
last for all their own mistake and
incapability they have only one reason men
are not cooperative how who want us to treat
when we are possessing talent and not getting
through because thats r reserved seats foe
creatures like u who want equality while
enjoying the reservation , if want equality
be in competition with use and by urself
start telling that u dont need reservation .

5: Why can't we have 50-50 reservations for men
and women? Why it is only 33 some cases, so
that it will be easy to have same average.

6: Wow! Now businesses should be thinking... why
not further outsource the work that men are
doing to women. We can save more and add more
to the bottom line. Then what would the next
statistics be?

7: I\'m in USA. Government statistics tell us
that women earn 25% less than men here. I
see where the article is saying women earn 33
1/3% less than men in India.
Some people who responded to the article mentioned the word \"Feminism\". So I address that: Feminism as we know it came in 3 phases and originally began with middle class women from Western Europe (UK) and North America (US)(not just the west). The 2nd phase which began in the 1960\'s campaigned for women\'s legal rights (as in rights of contract, property rights, voting rights, abortion rights, reproductive rights, protection from domestic violence, sexual harrassment and rape, for workplace rights, including maternity leave and equal pay, against misogyny, and against other forms of gender-specific discrimination. During this era laws were put in place that women were no longer considered chattel. I believe the equal pay part of this feminism in the 1960\'s was because we had a big loss of men in the Viet Nam war and women ended up alone to support their children (the only breadwinner) and they couldn\'t support their children on meager wages so they got educated and because they played two roles to their children commanded thru their education the same pay as men. Most of what Feminism stood for has been effectuated by law.
Then along came the 3rd wave in the 1990\'s merely to get those few things effectuated that weren\'t addressed totally in the 1960\'s phase and said that psychologically there are no inherent differences between the sexes and contended that gender rules are due to social conditioning.
I suspect the males from India who referred to Feminism in response to the article were meaning what is called \"liberal feminism\" and liberal feminism today are concerned TODAY with reproductive and abortion rights, sexual harrassment, voting, education, equal pay for equal work (we still have men at war and women becoming the sole provider for their children), affordable childcare, affordable healthcare, and bringing to light the frequency of sexual and domestic violence against women.
thanks for letting me contribute to the conversation.

8: funny thing is, all this women bullshitting
started in the west, especially U.S. but we
Indians had picked it up quite seriously like
all other dirty things. Women empowerment.
what a strong word. how many women reached to
power in U.S than compared to being
president, prime minister, chief minister,
you name it, in India. Why did all these
happen because all of the men India are
chauvinistic and women abusers. 90 percent of
women abuses, may it inside home or outside,
are done by the so called empowered women
only. be it saas-bahu or boss-laborer.it's so
easy to get high naming all the social
discrimination and blah blahs.they would take
up reserved seats with half the merit as a
man and then get married to even a wealthy
man. in turn they have screwed a guys future
who could have that job which was his
necessity but her luxury.

11: This is such a biased view. This is a
feminist report. I haven't come across a man
and a woman employed on the same post having
different salary structure. Salary structures
are decided on post wise not gender wise.
Have anyone of you came across a male
attendant and a woman nurse having different
package for same post or a software engineer
having different package based on salary or
any job. This is such a wrong report. I am
not being chauvinistic here. People are taken
on merit and qualification. If you just want
to fill up posts because they are women, then
where all the men would go, stealing. Bull
shit.A women would not work at night shifts,
you can't stretch their working hours, you
can't call them on weekends for work when
required, you can't blah blah.. Now this is
gender biasing.Why are not there much women
CEO's. What an absurd question.If you compare
the no. of qualified and merited male to CEO
ratio and the no. of qualified and merited
female to CEO, then the later would be more.
What sort of bullshit report is this. Women
reservation, SC ST reservation, OBCs, blah
blah...yea what's left for the regular man is
stealing, extortion, raping, etc. Oh yes, I
guess even underworld lack women workforce,
may be women folks and so called NGOs should
think of increasing that too. And for men, I
guess the only place men have less work force
is prostitution, we can rely on that now
because women is going to pay for it now.
Bloody hell. There are these people who don't
have anything else to or rather don't know
anything else to than bringing out such
bullshit reports.

12:Mr bijunator,
You need to seriously get aware of the exact facts, here r answers to ur questions that clearly shows your absolute unawareness -
1. Yes, software engineers do get paid differently based on their gender
2. women cannot work night shifts - 70% WOMEN DO WORK NIGHT SHIFTS, risking so many things
3. women can't stretch working hours - QUESTION URSELF WHY IS IT THEY CANT DO, THOUGH THEY HAVE STARTED DOING. DO YOU COOK FOR YOUR OWN MEAL ? IS IT NOT YOUR MOTHER WHO TAKES CARE OF YOUR FATHERS NEEDS - FOOD, CLOTHES, TAKE CARE OF RELATIVES, TAKE CARE OF THE HOUSE, TAKE FULL CARE OF CHILDREN. HOW MUCH IS YOUR FATHER HELPING OUT YOUR MOTHER ON THESE. Its pathetic that women by choice r going beyond their limits to earn and also take care of house, but the species called the MALE do not really care to even manage monetary needs of a family. otherwise why do you think all men today want a working lady to support their earnings.
Barring all these, the species called MALE is suffering with the following -
1. the big male ego - ONLY I KNOW EVERYTHING. A WOMAN NEED NOT TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO - be it at work or at home. They hardly have the guts to accept that a woman can have her own mind, since they hardly listen to women, they only see women as objects of pleasure. Their narrow mind cannot see women beyond this. All the same, they do listen when it comes to personal talks, but never about work.
2. MEN are irresponsible by nature comparatively - this takes a hit at their workplace where a woman is responsibly executing her duties in spite of managing home et al
3. MEN GO FOR PUFF/DUM BREAKS, loiter around in office till 6 pm as a routine, then start their work and work till the wee hours (this is termed as they stretch) - compare this to women who strive to reach work on time, try and finish work and leave on time (which is termed as they do not stretch), etc
Women are braving so many odds against them at work and at home, so beware YOU MEN and continue cribbing about reservation & prostitution - u GUYS have no other option left....

15:Helo friend, You could have used a better
language. The very reason that an
investigative report like this which seems to
be supporting or rather examining the
situation of working women in Indian
corporate has raised so many contemptible
comments from the side of Indian men and
women who have been brought up in a
patriarchal society. This itself is proof to
the truth that women faces discrimination in
all walks of life. She is never given a
freedom to choose her own career or rather
these so called educated and enlightened men
wont allow her to come up in life. This is
not a propaganda of feministic views or
blabbering from the marginalized section of
the society. This is the outcry of every
educated and sophisticated women of our
country. Some voice their concerns, some keep
quiet. If at least one man who reads this
comment and feels empathy, that is enough.
Well this is not a platform for discussing
the ever lasting dispute between men and
women on the question of their equal status
or superiority. Let SiliconIndia news bureau
continue to probe into the subtlelities of
Indian culture and enlighten the readers.

18: What this study conveniently ignores is the
status of the family in India. We have the
lowest divorce rates. The women who decide to
stay home to take care of the kids are not
derided by the feminists as is the case in
west.
Also the title is blatantly misleading now many of your colleagues do you know who do the same work as you and are paid differently just because of their gender ?

19: No Lakshmi, nowadays there are no points for
women talking about they are dominating my
opposite gender. IN most of the field, women
are equally contributing with men. they are
almost having equal rights that men has. Not
only in IT sector, u can see lot of women are
working in railways, media, some other govt
sectors, sports, hospitals, police even they
are acting in the adds for mens shaving
cream. so it is on women mentality and their
courageness to shine in each field.
even i can say women are against women still in india but not in majority scale, still women are facing Mother-in-law tortures. is mother-in-law is opposite gender of women.
so nowadays inspite of various departments, women are emerging out and equally treated as men in the modern world.

entering with shouldering equal
responsibility. But it will take its on time
to behave abnormally,because Normally men

22:what sort of view is this. how many times
have u seen this. i would say rather a women
at higher position always tries to show her
superiority over her fellow subordinates.
they behave with such discontent as if she is
ruling the world and is proud to have men
under her who out of shear obligation to the
job have to be slaves. a male supervisor is
always approachable where as for the same
trouble if u approach a female supervisor she
would demean you like anything.

As per my knowledge even the tax is less for women.Where does this Women's salary in India, less than a third of men's kind of situation arise.

I do accept the view - as women have to work
hard to earn - as the responsiblity of them
is dual ( to look after the family and
brought up their kids and much many more) -
especially, when the women has started
earning the men has become more
irresponsible, most of the time, they
prefers to share the breads of their spouse
than their own.

39: How do u say that its not a hard work.
Sitting in home and consoling everyone is not
so easy talk my dear as u r thinking. U may
work for 8 or 9 whatsover in company and may
carryout some project work. For every work u
do ur mom will support u till the time u wake
up. Do u think that she will not take any
risk in that? Just look from ur heart and u
will understand the feelings of people. Its

correct Vaasan
lot of companies recruit women if they are beauty
but their maximum work efficiency in work is 30%-40% of a men
but they have good efficiency other than work (manager only know that)
even though they are getting almost equal package.
(because of their beauty,color,structure,etc...)
for ex :
a men is working from morning 8:30 am to night 9:30
if the men is not followed that, then the manager will scold om them
specifically in the project delivery time the men must stay night.
but for women
they can come at 9:00-9:30 to 6:00
if women give a laugh to manager , he will be fine(he will allow them to do whatever they want)
and that manager will assign all the works to men only
what a great and nice IT corporate world.

42: One should not go by the average figures
which is totally misleading. Men has been
working historically in India from ages and
we have lot of highly paid men in the top
positions and very few, can be counted in
finger, in case of women. This skew the
matrices a much. I think we should look at
this with different prespective like
empowerment of wemen, improving the literacy
level in wemen, etc.....etc.

43:I firmly agree with you. The Ration of women
to men in an organization can not be taken in
to consideration directly because.
In any collage see the ratio b/w boys and girls it will be 60:40 or even worse in some collages.
so if we consider this ratio then in employement also the same ratio is maintained so most of the women who completed their graduation are working.

44: I think this is wrong statement. Women get
equal pay-slips.
Either the research has gone very bad or they dont want to report correct data.
This is not happening in India.

46: Yes ofcourse, It has been changed not only in
corporates but also all other fields. Women
are always dominated by opposite gender. This
view has to be changed by the opposite gender
only. Unless they change their mentality this
problem will never find a solution.
Posted by: Lakshmi - 09 Nov, 2009
47:If we educated people think like always this
world is malle dominated then what is the use
in making laws for saying both r
equal.Everyone is special in their fields so
as girls and guy. Why did u say that it is
dominated by opp gender? why wee think like
girls r guys r different?Skiils, knowledge
everything depends on their capability. Girls
should look after their family. Just do
household works for 1 day then will come to
know the strength of women. I am not
justifying one is superior but everyone has
self respect and we should accept it.

48:This is nothing to do with mentality of the
opp gender. It is with the Mentality of Women
who always thinks some body should change.
Why cont she fight back to get the equal
right and salary which she deserve. so Until
women did not become brave, proactive and
self confident this problem will not
solve.
My Suggession for all women is.
Fight for your rights There are laws which can help women.

50: Its sad to realise the difference of
inequality in India, we should definitely do
something to bring changes to this rule.
Compensation should be based on one's merit
and skills and not based on gender.

compensate this problem, because no one
companies looking only for men, they required
only the best bit person. So this is not a
problem made by corporates.

54: Indian women playing very important role in
IT industry, there is a chance to show the
difference in salary based on performance
instead of gender, as a lead I am heartfully
saying these words, I saw and worked with
some of the female teamates who has done
great job in their project. Women also doing
great work in all IT companies, thats why
India is getting more projects than other
countries.... always we should learn how to
recognize good performers....

that the salary levels can become same.
(Since there is no increments these days for
both).

will remain forever.
Posted by: Anil - 09 Nov, 2009
57:It is a truth known to all (but admitted by
none)that women in India are facing
discrimination in almost all aspects of life.
In corporate world also this gender gap
prevails. It may take another 100 years in
India to achieve a gender equality in the
compensation offered to women employees in
private organizations. Skills and abilities
are also sidelined when it comes to gender
preferences.

In India lady are paying equally as a man but they r not able to do the job as per man do it, and their problem is that they will not serve to office till late and top bosses are also not force them to do the job as far as they pay for their position ,but in case of man he can do the job and listen the abusing of the boss but in case of ladies boss will behave very well as compare to man.

Hi All,
It is a fake survey that women are getting less salary then men
because salaries are always based on position and post not for gender.
But women must get the less salary then men, Read why.
When ever you ask them to come early or ask to stay late in office they always have a new excuse and I am sure you can’t force them to do so but can do this with a boy.
You never force them to come in night shift because you always get the same answer, Sir I am a girl how can I come in night please ask some other to do so pleae.
You can not make them work in weekend if they have off or holiday.
These are just some of the examples from my past experience as I am working in a MNC company and having 10 year experience.
