Summary/Abstract: Review of the publication „Pay Gap: the short end of the stick“ - Homfray, Šárka – Václavková, Lucie: Pay Gap: kratší konec provazu. Praha: Nakladatelství Alarm, 2024, 346 pages, ISBN 978-80-908712-9-8 The review considers the publication to comprise a significant contribution to the analysis of gender inequalities in the Czech labour market. The authors link em-pirical data with specific cases and focus not only on remuneration differences, butalso on broader structural factors, i ncluding cultural stereotypes, parenthood and disc-rimination in technical sectors. Moreover, the review draws attention to issues relatedto the preferred family model and the degree of emphasis on the gender perspective,which provided the stimulus for further professional discussions. The book providespractical advice and suggestions for systemic changes, while the committed toneof the book is balanced by its professional depth. The text is relevant for both academiaand the wider public and represents an important impetus for the discussion on equa-lity in the labour market.
