Since prehistoric times, the role of women has been considered exclusively to raise children and manage the household, which is why their work has often gone unnoticed and underestimated, and women are beginning to fight for equality and for the right to vote. The problems that women face, both on the Croatian and the world labor market, are most often related to gender discrimination, insufficient encouragement of women's entrepreneurship, discrimination in wages and the problem of reconciling family and business life. And in modern society, a woman needs to work harder for the job she wants, regardless of the amount of knowledge she possesses. In this final paper, a study was conducted, in which 19 respondents participated, of which 3 men were employed in accounting, aged 23 to 60 years. The results of this study showed that women employed in accounting jobs have an average net salary of HRK 7,445.45, and men employed in the same jobs have a monthly net salary of HRK 8,926.47 which confirms the fact that women are still paid less in relation to men employed in the same jobs
