GENDER ANALYSIS OF THE WORKFORCE IN THE SPHERE OF FINANCIAL AND INSURANCE ACTIVITIES IN UKRAINE.

The purpose of the article is a further development of provisions on economic entities’ compliance with gender policy, analysis of the state of parity in wages between men and women, and the forecast of the level of average wages in Ukraine. The article examines the level of dynamics of the Ukrainian population by age group and gender. It was established that as of 2021, the number of men was 12% less than women, but men have quantitative advantages in pay and management positions. According to the analysis and forecast data for 2022-2024, a positive trend is observed in terms of women’s average salary growth. However, according to the forecast data, men will be receiving an average salary that is 43% higher than that of women, which creates gender inequality in the remuneration of workers. It was established that the gender audit technique can additionally take into account the assessment of such criteria as personnel potential, corporate and organizational culture, working conditions, management policy, and others. One of the preventive assessments of a company's compliance with the gender policy can consist of the analysis of job advertisements. Methodical principles for analyzing the remuneration of men and women working in business entities in the financial and insurance spheres have gained further development, at the expense of which it is possible to improve the quality of the gender analysis of the workforce from the existing ones with a high-quality personnel management plan, which made it possible to make a prospective forecast of the average salaries for men and women for 2022-2024. A proprietary approach has been proposed to the methodology of such analysis, which is based on statistical reporting indicators which, unlike the existing ones, are built on the basis of the application of the relevant functions of the software product Microsoft Excel 2021.
