On average, women in Sweden work 49 minutes for free every day – one minute more than last year. This is shown by the Lön alle dagens calculation.

This year, women work for free from 4:11 p.m. while men are paid until 5 p.m., according to Lön hela dagen, an association of trade unions and women's organizations.

This means that women on average receive SEK 4,500 less in their wallets each month.

Every year, the network recalculates the wage gap between women and men's wages in working hours where the average wage for a man means getting paid for his entire working day from 8 am to 5 pm. When the network was formed in 2012, women were paid until 3:51 pm.

So there has been an improvement over time, but in recent years, development has stalled.

Corrected: An earlier version of the text incorrectly stated the amount that women earn less on average each month.
