What is the primary factor driving the widening gender pay gap in Germany, and what are the immediate consequences?

In fact, the income gap between men and women widens with increasing professional qualification, reaching a 28 percent difference for 50-year-old university graduates. This disparity is primarily driven by women's higher rate of part-time work, particularly after age 30, often due to family responsibilities.
