Like many countries around the world, Austria struggles with a pay gap between its men and women. But women have the same access to education and job opportunities as men, Austria's ambassador to China, Irene Giner-Reichl, said. The country has also implemented gender budgeting, which requires officials at all levels to explicitly show how budget decisions will benefit women, the ambassador said. "Women have come a long way in Austria," she said, "but they still have some distance to go."
