Munich: Shocking income differences between districts!

Munich: Shocking income differences between districts!

Munich shows itself as a city of opposites when you take a look at the distribution of income. The latest data from the Statistics Office's quarterly report reveal an impressive gradient between the districts. While an annual income of 331,524 euros can be reached in the area around Königsplatz, the citizens of Ludwigsfeld, in the district of Feldmoching-Hasenbergl, have to make do with an income of only 37,568 euros. This is a theoretical difference of incredible 293,000 euros per year, which illustrates the socio-economic differences in our city, as the tz

These differences are also reflected in the distribution of income. The wealthiest quarter in Munich, old town-Lehel, can come up with an average income of 89,516 euros, while districts such as Milbertshofen-AM hard with 40,598 euros and Ramersdorf-Perlach with 46,032 euros are more likely to be at the lower end of the spectrum. Tax returns submitted over 884,538 show that around 87% of the income of employees comes, while the rest is generated by self -employed and freelancers. Particularly striking: Dentists are the top earners among the freelancers with an average of 178,585 euros, followed by lawyers with 143,663 euros.

gender-pay-gap-a persistent inequality

Another point that may not go unmentioned is the gender-pay-gap in Munich, which with 37.3% assumes a frightening dimension. This means that women earn 37.3% less than their male colleagues. The difference in old town lehel is particularly drastic, where men earn 46.6% more than women. A gap of 20% is also expected in Schwabing-Freimann, as also explained by the Destatis

The gender-pay gap itself is recorded in two variants: the unmistaked and adjusted gender-pay-gap. The uninanced GAP looks at the average gross hours earnings of women and men and thus shows the structural inequalities. The adjusted GAP, on the other hand, tries to make comparisons taking into account similar qualifications and professions, although not all relevant factors are shown. This represents the upper limit for potential discrimination against merit. The WSI also knows the difficulties that many women have in employment: They are often part-time and have therefore rarely access to higher incomes.
