Abstract: "According to a survey conducted by the IAB, female university students have different salary expectations than male students. They would accept a starting salary that is 15.6 percent lower than that of their male peers. There is also a gender gap of a similar magnitude in their expected starting wages. This is not only due to the fact that women tend to study different subjects than men." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
