E. whereas labour market disparities and a lack of fair working conditions and safety for workers are still persistent across the EU; whereas men were considerably more likely than women to have an accident at work and in 2022, around 2 out of every 3 (66.2%) non-fatal accidents at work in the EU involved men1a; whereas in 2018, almost 96% of fatal workplace accidents in the EU involved men1b, and whereas the EU has discontinued publishing this data thereafter; whereas mining and construction have the highest fatality rates, at 10.2 and 6.1 per 100,000 respectively, with men comprising 98% of the workforce in mining1c, and more than 90% in construction, with women holding mostly desk jobs1d; whereas the existing gender pay gap is, to a considerable extent, a consequence of the physical risk borne by workers in male-dominated sectors; whereas, therefore, the principle of 'equal pay for work of equal value' should take such work-related risks into account when assessing the gender pay gap;
