In Iceland, there is a significant income gap between men and women. Even though the average income of both sexes increased steadily from 2008 to 2021, men have consistently earned around 500 Icelandic Krona more than women every hour. Whereas Icelandic men earned over 4,100 Krona per hour in 2021 compared to 2,110 in 2008, the numbers were respectively close to 3,700 and 1,680 for women, showing that the income gap in Iceland was almost just as high in 2021 as it was 13 years earlier.
