Men account for more than 70% of top earners, new figures show 

Large disparities in earnings even in sectors in which women dominate the workforce, according to new data from the CSO 

Even in the female-dominated healthcare sector, only 37.2% of those with earnings in the top 1% are women. 

Despite a slight improvement in recent years, men accounted for nearly three-quarters of the top earners across the country in 2023, with large disparities noted even in sectors in which women dominate the workforce, new data from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) shows.
