Overall, the difference in earnings between men and women in Japan, the US, the UK, and France registered a downward trend for most of the period with the exception of that in Australia. In Japan, male’s income was more different than female’s out of in four countries surveyed.

In 1978, the percentage of the income gap between genders started at 50% in Japan, higher than in the US at approximately 35%. This of these two countries continued to decrease sharply to about 40% for the former and 27% for the latter in 2008.

During the same period, the remaining countries constituted a small fraction. The percentage of the income gap between men and women in the UK was 30% in 1978, compared to 20% and 18 % in France and Australia respectively. Then the percentage declined gradually to 26% in the UK and 18% in France in 2008. In contrast, the comparable value for Australia showed a rise of 10% from 1978 to 2008, ending with 25%.
