In Iceland, there is an income gap between men and women. Between 2008 and 2021, women earned significantly less than men per hour. However, the gap decreased gradually since 2013, falling to nine percent by 2022. Despite this income disparity, Iceland topped the rankings for gender equality in 2023> due to the high level of living standards, female representation in business and politics, and maternal benefits.
