Confirmed

In some sectors in Greece the pay gap reaches even 25%

Omissions

• The overall gender pay gap in Greece was 13.4% in 2024 according to ELSTAT, significantly lower than the 25% figure cited for specific sectors
• The MEP did not specify which sectors have the 25% gap, which limits contextual understanding
• The claim was made on 2026-03-09 and the most recent available official data at that time would have been from 2024 (published in 2025)
• The 25% figure aligns with age-based disparities (25.1% for 65+ age group in 2023), which may contribute to sector-specific gaps in industries with older workforces
