Abstract

The issue of gender equality is still on the agenda, including in terms of workplace payment gap. The literature review shows that the issue has been enshrined in a number of normative documents since 1951. However, the research done so far strongly suggests that in both European Union countries (including Bulgaria) and the United States, there is a gender pay gap despite the legal basis. This paper identifies the most significant reasons that give rise to this inequality. The aim of the paper is to investigate the pay gap between men and women in the Information technologies (IT) sector by proposing an integrated research process. To fulfil the purpose, we will process with the means of data mining and statistical analysis: opinions of users of the social network Twitter, extracted by keywords for gender equality in the IT sector; opinions of employees in IT companies obtained through a survey. Our proposed integrated research process consists of the following phases: Data Collection; Retrieving Dataset; Data Pre-processing; Data Analysis and Data Visualization. We combined social media and survey data. Data mining and statistical software are used for its implementation.
